Brock University is encouraging all students to be smart this Thanksgiving long-weekend and heading into Reading Week.

It says you should only spend the holiday with the people you live with in order to protect yourself and your loved ones from COVID-19.

It's encouraging students living on campus to stay in Niagara in possible.

If multiple students living in a shared house head home for the holidays, their social bubbles will expand significantly once everyone returns.

Those who do end up leaving campus will be encouraged to limit their contact with others after the holiday.
