New York area departments cancelling admitted student events (UPDATED)
This was posted by philosopher Alex Guerrero (Rutgers) in the comments on the earlier thread, but is worth elevating to a post as well to make sure affected students see this:
In response to the continued spread of COVID-19 and to help in the collective effort to slow the rate of its spread, we will not be holding in-person visits for admitted and wait-listed prospective PhD students. We are instead offering online, virtual opportunities for admitted and wait-listed students to meet with faculty and graduate students at our respective programs, aiming to provide prospective students as much information about our programs as we can while following the guidance of public health experts. (Details being arranged directly with each of our admitted and wait-listed students.)
With wishes of safety and good health to all,

UPDATE: Alva Noe (Berkeley) tells me that their department has also cancelled the admitted students event.
