Two undergraduate students at the university are in self-isolation after possible exposure to the virus.

The clinic has been closed for cleaning.

Provost Persis Drell said in a letter Friday that beginning Monday, classes at the university will move to online formats and will not meet in person for the final two weeks of the winter quarter.

Where feasible, the university will be moving classes to
online formats in place of in-person instruction, Drell said.

As of Friday, the students in isolation were not displaying symptoms of the virus but were tested at Stanford Health Care, according to Drell.

Several large-group events at the university are also being adjusted
or canceled.
