ANN ARBOR, Mich. — The University of Michigan is telling students to check their temperature twice a day and avoid social gatherings, work and public transportation for 14 days before returning to Ann Arbor.
Administrators say it's an important part of the strategy to keep COVID-19 out of the community.
The fall term begins Aug. 31 with a mix of online and in-person classes.
The university says students will be required to complete an online review of COVID-19, its symptoms and how to stay safe.
Students living on campus are expected to be tested for the virus and cleared prior to their arrival.
Meanwhile, Michigan State University is encouraging many students to think about staying at home to avoid coronavirus risks if they can participate in school through online classes.
The messages from the two schools come just a few weeks before the start of fall classes, which will be a mix of in-person and online instruction at both campuses.
