The University of Michigan is telling undergrad students who don't need to live on campus to study online from home for the winter semester.
Given the rapid increase in COVID-19 cases in the county, as well as hospitalizations, that's the right call, according to Susan Ringler-Cerniglia of the Washtenaw County Health Department.
"In the dorm settings or some of these off campus houses where many students live together, it's very, very difficult to have good distance or more separation," says Ringler-Cerniglia.
