Dive Brief:
-
California health officials released guidance Friday to help colleges there prepare to hold in-person classes amid the coronavirus pandemic.
-
Colleges in the state have been waiting on the guidance and have crafted reopening plans without knowing what health officials would ultimately approve, the Los Angeles Times reported.
-
The guidance’s core tenets — which include mandating masks, promoting handwashing and frequently cleaning regularly touched surfaces — also feature in other states’ instructions for reopening higher education institutions this fall.
