Coronavirus CT: CCSU Campus Closing Immediately

NEW BRITAIN, CT — Central Connecticut State University announced that campus is being closed immediately after it was learned that a student may have been exposed to someone who is being tested for new coronavirus.

Classes have already been moved online through at least April 5.

Here is the full letter from the university:

Dear Central Family,
This is a time for calm, compassion and patience. We just received word that a CCSU student has had potential exposure to an individual who is currently being tested for the COVID-19 coronavirus.
As a precautionary measure, we are closing the campus immediately. Faculty, staff, and students are asked to leave campus until further notice (though those deemed as Level 1, formerly known as essential employees, are asked to report to East Hall immediately). Please take with you any materials you may need to continue teaching and learning online.
I realize you will have many questions and concerns, and we will address them as soon as possible. Feel free to send us an email at covidupdate@ccsu.edu.
I will be back in touch soon.
Sincerely,
Zulma R. Toro
