Gov. Andrew Cuomo set a COVID-19 case threshold Thursday that would require colleges in New York to halt in-person classes.

He says if a college has “100 cases, or the number of cases is equal to 5% of their population or more – they must go to remote learning for two weeks."

After two weeks, the governor says they will reassess the situation.

He says people should expect to see clusters at colleges and they need to be prepared for them.
