New York Governor, Andrew Cuomo (D), announced a New Rule, Thursday August 28th, requiring New York’s Public and Private Colleges to Transition to Remote Learning for Two Weeks, if 100 Students or More are found with Positive COVID-19 Tests.

We have colleges that are reopening. We’re seeing around the country situations where colleges reopen and then have an outbreak of cases, Cuomo told Reporters during a Morning Conference Call.

We’re going to set a threshold that says if a college has 100 cases or a number of cases equal to 5 percent of their population or more, whichever is less, they must go to remote learning for two weeks, at which time we will reassess the situation. The 5 percent is the population that are on-site, students and faculty. They must go to remote learning for two weeks and then we’ll reassess in consultation with the local health department.’ he explained.

Colleges must Report the New Cases to their Local Health Departments.

Students will be Allowed to Remain on Campus and take their Classes Online should a College meet the New Threshold.
