Mayor Marty Walsh said he hopes to present a reopening plan within the next two weeks - nearly nine months since schools first closed due to the pandemic.

In an email to the Boston University community Wednesday, Robert Brown, president of BU, announced that classes will be held online from March 16 to April 13 as a result of the ongoing coronavirus outbreak. The announcement comes in the wake of the closure of several other Boston-area universities such as Harvard, Tufts and MIT.
