Cambridge is the first university in United Kingdom to announce such a massive decision. The statement issued by the university said that they are constantly adapting to the challenging situation emerging at a global level. However, the lectures and classes will be continued using distant learning platforms.

More importantly, teaching in groups can be done at a later stage but with practicing social distancing. The policy statement regarding the conduct of exams has also been released by the university which states that all exams will be conducted on its due time but for the first time, the conduction will be carried out online.
