On Tuesday, Cornell President Martha Pollack announced the university would move to "Alert Level Red" because of a "significant number of Monday's positive student samples."
The college's COVID-19 dashboard shows there are 469 active student cases. Of those cases, 94 percent were confirmed this week. Monday's 227 new positive cases and Tuesday's 214 new positive cases have raised Cornell's weekly positivity rate to just over 3 percent.
