Harvard Yard is temporarily closed to the public in an effort to keep students safe amid the pandemic.

Only people with a Harvard ID can access the area between 5 p.m. and 3 a.m.

A Harvard spokesperson says the area will remain closed to the public every evening through mid-October.

Harvard's COVID positivity rate is below 0.2%.
