Students living in residence at Brandon University are being required to move out before Monday due to the novel coronavirus pandemic.
The university says out of an abundance of caution, all students who are reasonably able to must move out before 5:00 p.m. Sunday, March 22.
In an email statement to Global News, a spokesperson for the university says there will be some exceptional circumstances, including international students, those who are self-isolating, and those who need extra time to move long distances. “We are taking this action after careful consideration, and believe this is the best way to ensure the health and safety of our entire community,” the statement reads in part.
