Harvard
University announced on Saturday that it would be transitioning to remote learning for several weeks in January amid an increase of new cases in the area and around the country.
In a letter to the school’s community, Harvard officials said that for the first three weeks of January, “we will take steps to reduce density on campus by moving much of our learning and work remotely."
The letter noted that students who had received approval from their specific school or previous authorization would be the only students allowed to remain on or return to campus during the three-week period.
