MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Less than two weeks after they began, West Virginia University is shutting down most in-person classes after a spike in COVID-19 cases.

Monongalia is currently the only county in the state under red alert status via the DHHR’s color-coded map.

Here’s the full email from WVU:

In-person classes will be canceled on West Virginia University’s Morgantown campus Tuesday, Sept 8.
