Durham, NH -- On Mar. 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the coronavirus (COVID-19) as a global pandemic. Store shelves were stripped of bare necessities by worried customers, local businesses had to shut down their operation, and students were sent home by universities; all these happened in hopes of combating the spread of this deadly virus.
The University of New Hampshire (UNH) will enter orange mode following “a dramatic and sustained rise in the number of positive COVID-19 cases within the Durham community,” President James Dean announced Thursday.
As we finish the second week of classes in the spring semester, the number of active coronavirus (COVID-19) cases on campus have nearly reached their high from the fall semester causing many students to worry about a possibly-impending campus shutdown.
