Students at two New Hampshire higher education institutions will now be learning remotely following spikes in COVID-19 cases.
According to a report from the Associated Press, Plymouth State University announced on Tuesday that all classes would be moving online until at least Sunday. The university stated that it had essentially run out of quarantine and isolation space on campus.
Due to this, all campus events, including athletics, have been cancelled. Also, all on-campus gatherings will be capped at six people, while students can only visit students within their own residence hall. The school’s on-campus dining services will be moving to takeout only.
Meanwhile, the University of New Hampshire reported 428 infected students, along with five faculty or staff. There have been nearly 630 people under quarantine on-campus.
The UNH campus is under similar guidelines to PSU’s.
