2 colleges in Boston reporting positive COVID-19 cases Boston News, Weather, Sports | WHDH 7News

District 9 Councilor Liz Breadon says she is also concerned about out-of-state students moving to Boston and into off-campus housing.

It is of great concern to residents of Allston-Brighton that off-campus students are already returning from numerous places around the country which are experiencing out-of-control surges in infections, and that many people are asymptomatic while spreading infection to others, she wrote in a letter to the presidents of Boston University and Boston College. The physical proximity of off-campus students to neighborhood residents increases the risk of community spread beyond the university campus.

Breadon went on to urge both colleges to shift to remote learning for the majority of their students.
