CHICAGO (AP) — The University of Chicago has become the latest Illinois university to take steps to reduce the spread of coronavirus.
It announced Thursday it’s moving to remote learning for undergraduate and graduate classes for the entire spring quarter beginning March 30.
The announcement came a day after Illinois, Southern Illinois, DePaul, Northwestern and Illinois State universities announced the suspension of in-person classes due to coronavirus concerns.
Meanwhile, the Illinois High School Association said Thursday it will significantly limit attendance at the remaining games in this year’s 2020 Boys Basketball State Series and other IHSA events. Gov. J.B. Pritzker says the number of COVID-19 cases in the state has grown to 25.
