UC system temporarily pushes classes back online, partly due to Omicron research from UC San Diego

The University of California system will push classes back online for at least the first two weeks of January due to the spread of Omicron, a decision that elicited sadness at UC San Diego, which has maintained one of the lowest COVID-19 infection rates of any university in the country. The decision was heavily influenced by Omicron surge models produced at the San Diego campus over the past week.
