Beginning Monday, the University of Washington is moving all classes online for the remainder of the quarter as concerns grow over the new coronavirus.

The university will, however, continue consulting with public health experts to determine if classrooms should reopen by then.

As the coronavirus continues to spread throughout the region and country, Gottlieb explained that the prospect of additional cases on campus is a valid concern. Students walk across the University of Washington campus in Seattle, March 4, 2020. On March 6, the university said it will cancel in-person classes and have students take courses and finals remotely while the Seattle area grapples with a growing coronavirus outbreak."We don't obviously have a crystal ball; I think we do expect more cases to be seen in our community and on the campus as time goes on," Gottlieb explained at the press conference.

Since this Disease was brought fr China, I won't B surprised if EVRY1 considers a total boycott of every Chinese business in Seattle.

If this happened at the college I go to, I would fail. I cannot learn things online, and thus take them in person for a reason. This coronavirus scare is ruining people's lives and it's a glorified flu!!!

Great idea

Should do wonders for grades...

Stanford just did the same thing.
