PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – The University of Pittsburgh has released an update for the upcoming spring semester.

According to Pitt, students shouldn’t travel to campus just yet for the spring semester, which begins Jan. 19, as the spread of the coronavirus is uncertain after the holidays. According to the school’s COVID-19 Medical Response Office, Pitt will be notified at least two weeks prior to recommending students to travel.

“Accordingly, we won’t let you know you’re traveling until the last week of January at the earliest, and all Pitt students – whether or not you live in a dormitory – shouldn’t travel to the area before that time. Thank you for continuing to be flexible in your travel planning, ”said an update from the Medical Response Office on Friday.

The university said more details will be released next week. Pitt says all sites will continue to use the Flex @ Pitt educational model.
