Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Entering Self-Isolation
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau entered self-isolation yesterday following his recent trip to Britain. After the trip, his wife, Sophie Gregoire Trudeau, began experiencing mild flulike symptoms, and currently awaits test results to see if she has contracted COVID-19.

DAILY BRIEFING Harvard administrators directed all research laboratories affiliated with the Faculty of Arts and Sciences to wind down activities to only essential functions for up to two months, marking yet another major shift in University operations announced this week in response to the coronavirus pandemic. Principal investigators must develop a plan to “ramp-down” activities in their labs by March 18, with the expectation that operations will remain in a reduced state for six to eight weeks. In other news, Harvard College aimed to provide students with details on remote learning, academic requirements, and dining options ahead of Sunday afternoon’s move-out deadline, as the University looks to avert the virus’s impact.
Taco Bell Introduces New Line of Breakfast Burritos Starting this week, Taco Bell will begin selling a new line of toasted breakfast burritos. While the chain has been selling breakfast items since 2014, these latest menu items are meant to step up their breakfast game against competitors like Wendy’s and McDonald’s. The new items include a toasted breakfast burrito with eggs, sausage, and nacho cheese sauce; one with eggs, potato bites, pico de gallo, cheese, and either bacon or sausage; and one with eggs, cheese, a hash brown, and bacon or sausage.
AROUND THE IVIES DARTMOUTH Dartmouth College President Phil Hanlon announced Thursday afternoon that all classes will be held online moving forward until May 1, according to The Dartmouth. Hanlon plans to reevaluate the possibility for in-person classes to resume by April 20. Until then, the campus will stay open and faculty and staff will continue to be paid. Graduate students will not be required to leave campus, while undergraduates have been asked not to return to campus.
PRINCETON
Princeton students studying abroad in Europe have been instructed to return to the U.S. immediately by the school’s Associate Director of Global Safety and Security, the Daily Princetonian reported Thursday. The announcement to students was motivated by President Donald Trump’s recent announcement suspending all travel from Europe for 30 days, effective Friday at midnight. The announcement left students traveling abroad less than two days to pack and book flights home.
CORNELL
A Cornell student studying abroad in Spain has tested positive for COVID-19 and will stay in a Madrid hospital until he recovers, the Cornell Daily Sun reported. After suffering from a high fever, the student was initially diagnosed with bronchitis, and when his fever did not go down quickly, he was then hospitalized and treated for pneumonia. The student was then diagnosed with COVID-19 while in the hospital. He plans to return to the U.S. after his self-isolation period is complete.
