UNE Goes Fully Remote After 25-Case COVID-19 Outbreak

The University of New England is temporarily moving all of its undergraduate classes online after reporting an outbreak of 25 cases on its Biddeford campus last week.

In an message to students, the school says that all classes will be remote through March 31, and it is ordering students to quarantine in their dorms or homes for the time being. The school is also planning to test students twice over the next five days.

UNE says with cases limited to undergrads so far, it will keep its Portland campus open for graduate classes.
