COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Flagship universities in Maryland and North Carolina have canceled study abroad programs in Italy and are working to bring students home amid the continuing spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus.
The University of Maryland, along with Towson University in Maryland, suspended study abroad programs in Italy and told students to return home after the Centers for Disease Control raised its coronavirus warning level Friday night to limit travel in that country. At the moment there are nine TU students studying in Italy.
"Towson University is recalling all faculty, staff, and students who are currently abroad in Italy,” said university officials on the school's website.
