What situation are you referring to that would result in increased contact? This particular movement of students to a different location, often home? Or the long-term housing situation of the students throughout the rest of the semester?
- JMTQp8lwXL 7y agoMIT has an international student body. It might even mean that by telling students to go home, you're telling some students to go to CDC Level 3 country. If there is no outbreak at MIT, having the on-campus students remain on-campus might be preferable to forcing thousands to make their way through airports, buses, and other public infrastructure.
