Students at Harvard are being asked to move out of their dorms by Sunday, according to media relations director Rachael Dane.

“Harvard College students have been asked to move out of their Houses and First-Year Dorms by Sunday, March 15 in an effort to de-densify our community,” Dane told CNN in an email.

All academic courses will continue to be held remotely, she added.

Earlier today, Harvard's president said the school has asked students not to return to campus after spring break.

Harvard spokesman Jason Newton said any on-campus meetings after March 23 — the first day after spring break — will go virtual.
