PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Providence College is temporarily restricting student movement in response to a recent increase in confirmed COVID-19 cases on campus.
The school’s president in a message to the campus community Thursday said students who live both on and off campus are required to limit their activities to essential travel, including going to class, picking up food or groceries, medical appointments, outdoor recreation, and work.
The college has had nearly 100 positive cases this week, according to the school’s dashboard. In-person classes will continue and libraries will remain open.
The private Roman Catholic school has about 4,800 students.
