"The virus is a formidable foe," Jenkins said."For the past week, it has been winning. Let us as the Fighting Irish join together to contain it." "We should all be exercising every precaution possible to prevent the spread to a third ring," officials wrote.To slow the spread, the university is asking off-campus students not to visit campus until further notice and telling those on campus to remain there except for emergencies. All student gatherings are limited to a maximum of 10 people.

Jenkins urged students to follow health protocols and act responsibly,"for your sake and the sake of our community and for continuing our semester on campus."
