CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Cleveland State University will move classes online after extending spring break a week to protect against spread of coronavirus, the university wrote in an email to the campus community on Wednesday afternoon.

CSU’s announcement follows the state’s announcement that a fourth coronavirus case was confirmed in Ohio. The first three were in Cuyahoga County and confirmed Monday. The case confirmed on Wednesday was in Stark County and is thought to be the first case of community spread in Ohio.

A rash of universities announced classes would move online on Tuesday afternoon, after Governor Mike DeWine held a press conference recommending canceling college classes. Campuses include nearby Case Western Reserve University, Baldwin Wallace University and John Carroll University.

Students will begin remote instruction on March 23 through April 10. Even though on-campus classes will be cancelled, the university will remain open.

CSU leaders are encouraging students who can stay at home to remain there, though the university will remain open and arrangements will be made for those who need to stay on-campus.

Gatherings that will have more than 100 people, will be cancelled or rescheduled until March 31. The university will host sporting events, with limited spectators, according to the letter.
