Gateway Community College in New Haven is switching to remote operations for the rest of the week because of an uptick in Covid-19 cases across the state.
College officials said the move to online operations is done out of an abundance of caution.
All students and staff will be required to work from home Wednesday and Thursday. A Gateway spokesperson said employees who need to come onto campus to get items needed to work remotely can do so in the morning on Wednesday.
Students with clinical rotations, internships or other in-person off-campus commitments should follow the requirements of their program or host agency, the college said. CNA and other in-person certificate courses as well as scheduled placement testing should also shift to a virtual format, if possible.
