Colleges and universities across the Bay Area are moving classes online amid growing coronavirus fears.
U.C. Berkeley, San Francisco State University, San Jose State University, Santa Clara University, City College of San Francisco and San Francisco Academy of Art University all announced an end to in-person classes in favor of online and remote instruction.
The announcements come after Stanford University on Friday said it would hold classes online for the rest of the winter quarter. A staff member there had tested positive for coronavirus.
The campus at University of San Francisco remained open Tuesday. But USF School of Law classes are moving online starting Wednesday.
ICA Cristo Rey, an all-girls Catholic high school in San Francisco, is closed for two weeks after a staff member tested positive for coronavirus. It's currently set to reopen on March 20.
Archbishop Riordan High School, an all-boys Catholic high school in San Francisco, will remain closed until March 22. School officials said a student's parent had tested positive for coronavirus.
Lowell High School, San Francisco's prestigious high school, is set to reopen Wednesday after closing last week for a deep cleaning. A parent of a student at Lowell had been diagnosed with the virus.
In Palo Alto, nearly 2,500 people have signed a petition asking the school district to close all campuses. That district late last month sent two students home after receiving reports that a parent may have been exposed to the virus.
