The University of Notre Dame abruptly paused in-person learning for undergraduate students for at least two weeks after more than 100 students tested positive for Covid-19 just over a week into classes. The announcement comes after the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill earlier this week reversed its decision to hold undergraduate in-person classes for the semester due to a rise in cases on its campus. 

Here are some of today’s major developments: 

The following data was compiled by Johns Hopkins University:

  • Global cases: More than 22.1 million
  • Global deaths: At least 781,756
  • U.S. cases: More than 5.48 million
  • U.S. deaths: At least 172,418
