The College of the Holy Cross has restricted all in-person activities, including varsity sports, until at least Wednesday in response to dozens of new COVID-19 cases on campus.
Contact tracing shows that of at least 40 new cases, most are linked to outdoor gatherings of students during warmer weather and Easter break travel, the Jesuit school in Worcester said Friday.
Classes will be held remotely, the library is closed, and Sunday Mass will be livestreamed.
Students who live off campus will not be allowed on, except for coronavirus testing and visits to health services, or to pick up food from the dining hall.

A different kind of race is taking its third lap at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway this weekend, as the state holds another mass vaccination event at the Loudon facility.
Gov. Chris Sununu this past week set a goal of giving out 12,000 total doses during New Hampshire s third vaccination drive at the racetrack, all of which were provided by Johnson & Johnson. This means everyone who attends will be fully vaccinated with just a single shot. Download our mobile app for iOS or Android to get alerts for local breaking news and weather.

Gov. Chris Sununu announced today that everyone 16 and older in New Hampshire, regardless of residency, will be eligible to register and get the COVID-19 vaccine starting April 19.
That means, among others, out-of-state college students and second-home owners will be allowed to get vaccinated - which college towns in the state have called for, while Sununu said residents must first have a chance to get their vaccine.
Sununu made the announcement as state health officials reported a big increase over 200,000 residents registering for the vaccine since last week.
