Colleges and universities in California, New York, and Washington—the states with the highest number of confirmed coronavirus cases—will not be holding classes and exams in person for the remainder of the winter quarter.
In Washington state, the decision came after a University of Washington (UW) staff member tested positive for COVID-19, the disease the new coronavirus causes. The patient is currently in self-isolation at home and the building the person worked in has been shut down for disinfection.
