ALBANY – Colleges and universities in New York will be forced into remote learning for at least two weeks if enough people test positive for COVID-19, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Thursday.

As higher-education institutions reopen across the state, Cuomo set a closure threshold for the first time, forcing a college to temporarily cancel in-person classes if a campus over a two-week period:

  • has more than 100 positive coronavirus cases, or
  • an outbreak equal to more than 5% of the population.

The campus will be required to stick to remote learning for two weeks, at which point the state will “reassess the situation,” he said.
