WWU should close classes to protect from the spread of coronavirus

The Issue

Due to the increase in cases in Washington, with the spread being community driven and experts saying that it has most likely been in the state for weeks WWU administration should close classes to prevent the spread of the virus. Waiting for a student to catch it or the quarter to end is negligent behavior. With the lack of comprehensive testing it would mean that it would have been circulating around campus for over a week or two.
