American universities reimpose COVID restrictions over omicron variant: 'Reminiscent' of March 2020
Fox News
Several universities such as Georgetown, Princeton and Cornell, are reimposing restrictions on their campus due to the rise in the omicron variant, which was originally discovered in South Africa.
Georgetown University, for example, is restricting all indoor campus dining to a "grab-and-go" model, where students pick up their food in a dining hall and eat in their private room. The university is also closing fitness centers, and has canceled all events if they cannot be held outdoors or online.
Princeton University has taken a similar approach and announced on their website that all final exams will either be given remotely or, if a faculty member chooses, the exam can be delivered as a "take-home" test. Additionally, from Dec. 16 through Jan. 7, all indoor gatherings with food and where face masks cannot be worn will be canceled or postponed.
