Officials in Washtenaw County are asking students at the University of Michigan to stay in place through February 7.
The recommendation comes after cases of COVID-19 have started spreading quickly amongst the university community. That includes 14 cases of the new B.1.1.7 variant, which is believed to be approximately 50 percent more transmissible.
The recommendation is that all undergrad, graduate and professional students enrolled in the university that are currently living in Washtenaw County (either on or off campus) stay put and do not gather with anyone outside of their household.
It is recommended that students only leave their homes for in-person classes, work that cannot be performed remotely, religious activities, to volunteer in approved vaccination and testing efforts, or to obtain food or medical care.
