Following a surge of coronavirus cases, the University of Wisconsin-Madison says undergraduate students must restrict in-person interactions to “essential activities.'
In response to the viral video, university officials said that the students were engaging in behavior in violation of their rules and policies.
Essential activities for students under the new restrictions include attending class, getting a COVID-19 test, buying groceries, or going to work, the university said. The university added that all in-person social events and student group meetings, with the exception of in-person and hybrid classes, will be prohibited.
UW-System President Tommy Thompson said Chancellor Blank was taking the necessary precautions to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
