Officials at the University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg campus have set the stage for more in-person classes.
Beginning Monday, the official risk status at the Hempfield campus will be lowered from elevated to guarded, Pitt Greensburg President Robert Gregerson announced. The change means professors will have the option of returning to campus to teach classes that are currently being offered online. Students will still have the option of taking all classes online or returning to the classroom, if that is available.
The decision to begin reopening the campus follows state Department of Health reports tracking covid-19 rates at their lowest levels since October and finding a 50% reduction in new cases over the last month.
