The University of Alabama is not alone on COVID-19 cases, recall that one week after reopening, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill cancelled in-class lectures due to cases of coronavirus in the school. August 11 was the first day of the new academic year.

The decision was made after more than 130 students tested positive for COVID-19 and 300 forced to quarantine a week after the school reopened.

The disclosure was made in a letter posted to students on the campus website by the university’s chancellor.

The school said classes would be held online going forward, along with academic support services.
