As hospitalizations for the coronavirus are ramping up in Pennsylvania, colleges and universities are getting ready for the spring semester.
Gov. Tom Wolf on Thursday projected that hospitalizations could peak in January and February, resulting in the state Department Health recommending the delay of the start of spring semesters at colleges and universities. We are seeing an alarming increase in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations, and these trends are expected to worsen in January at the time when students normally return to campus, said Acting Secretary of Education Noe Ortega. Colleges and universities play a critical role in mitigating the spread of COVID-19 and creating safe learning environments for students. Â
