Covid outbreak at HBS

I was just talking to a current HBS student who told me that after starting classes in person, they're going back to at least a week of Zoom classes because while HBS only accounts for 9% of the student body at Harvard, they have 80% of the active Covid cases! Can anyone confirm?

“We are a complete outlier among Harvard schools in our numbers. MBA students comprise roughly 9% of the student population at the University, but have accounted for more than two-thirds of total student cases in September. Our positivity rate is 12 times that of the rest of Harvard,” wrote HBS Dean Srikant M. Datar, Executive Dean for Administration Angela Q. Crispi, Executive Director of the MBA and Doctoral Programs Jana P. Kierstead, and Senior Associate Dean Jan W. Rivkin.
