(CBN News) Liberty University has announced a “temporary mitigation period” in order to slow the spread of COVID-19 on its campus.
The campus-wide quarantine began Monday and will last until Sept. 10, according to several news outlets.
“This is NOT a campus-wide lockdown,” the Lynchburg, Va.-based university said in a statement. “This period is simply a temporary dial-back of some larger indoor activities. Students will NOT be confined to their rooms and are free to use campus facilities and dining venues as usual.”
The school has about 15,000 students and 5,000 faculty or staff on campus.
