Bates College in Lewiston, Maine announced Monday that it will extend a lockdown through Sunday, owing to a recent spike in COVID-19 cases among students at the liberal arts institution.
The extension of the lockdown, which took effect at 2 p.m. on April 1 and had initially been slated to expire Tuesday afternoon, was confirmed in a message posted to the school’s website by Joshua G. McIntosh, Bates’s vice president for campus life and dean of students.
As of Saturday, McIntosh wrote, there were 51 active student cases of COVID-19, a number that fell to 49 the following day when two recovered. Bates has a student population of roughly 2,000, according to its website.
