(Amherst, MA) Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker has come out in support of UMASS administration after the UMASS Amherst announced strict guidelines after a large COVID-19 outbreak. Baker said the university made the right decision and hopes the students will do their part.

A total of 431 active cases have been reported on the Amherst campus, eight days into the spring semester. All classes are now held remotely and there is no eating in the dining halls. Violation of the rules could result in removal from campus housing or suspension.
