PHILADELPHIA - Just two days after Holy Family University welcomed students back to campus, the school announced it has closed its main campus in Northeast Philadelphia on Wednesday due to possible coronavirus exposure.
Holy Family says all Wednesday classes will be held remotely. The Newtown Campus will remain open, along with residence halls and the Tiger Café, according to the school.
Students and faculty are encouraged to monitor their emails for forthcoming information.
