Law schools are racing to confront and embrace new COVID-19 safety measures as coronavirus cases spike around the country, Reuters report.

Cornell University shut down its Ithaca, New York, campus this week halfway through the law school’s nine-day finals period. New York University and George Washington University, each citing the fast spread of COVID-19, quickly followed. All three universities require students to be vaccinated against COVID-19 to be on campus, but each has reported a rise in the Omicron variant among their recorded cases.
