(Oakland, Pa.) The University of Pittsburgh is moving to the Elevated Risk level for COVID-19 following an increase in positive cases among students. The University ordered a shelter-in-place period that started at 9 p.m. last night.

During the shelter-in-place period, students should only leave their rooms or apartments to attend classes, labs, or clinicals in person; pick up food; exercise safely; work when necessary; and shop for essentials and medical needs. Group work for classes and student activities should be held virtually.

Campus dining will be available via takeout only beginning this morning. Residence hall lounges, recreation rooms and kitchens are also now closed.
