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.

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.
