It was not clear which schools Trump was referring to in the tweet, but around the country, educators and school officials have moved slowly in their decisions to hold in-person classes in the fall.

Harvard University is among those that’s allowing some students to be on campus this fall, the school announced Monday. But students will have to take coronavirus tests every three days and classes will be taught online. Tuition will remain the same.

The outbreak has spread worldwide, with more than 11.6 million confirmed cases and over 538,780 deaths, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. The U.S. has had at least 2.9 million cases and 130,306 deaths, according to the latest tallies.
