Famous colleges and universities in the United States announced this week that they will end the first part of the school year early because of a rise in COVID-19(新冠肺炎) cases. They will also move final tests out of classrooms and onto computers.
Princeton University and Cornell University are part of the group that is closing school early. Students traditionally leave school for about one month after December exams. Both Cornell and Princeton say nearly all of their students are vaccinated(接种疫苗的) against COVID-19.
Mallika Gore is a student at Syracuse University from India. On Wednesday, she said she already has her booster shot(加强针), but she has some classmates from other countries who may not be able to get a booster before they go home. They will have to return to the U.S. early because boosters are not yet available where they live. Gore said her parents wonder if she should come back to the U.S. in January.
Emily O’Brien is a first-year student at the University of Massachusetts, where most students are vaccinated. She said she was already planning to get a booster, but if the university requires it, more of her classmates will get a third shot.
