BATON ROUGE - Louisiana State University released a statement Friday, saying that "as a precautionary measure" all on-campus events and LSU-sponsored off-campus events of 30 attendees or more must be canceled, effective immediately until May 30.

LSU says officials will decide what to do about commencement ceremonies at a later date. 

Events with fewer than 30 attendees will require approval through the LSU Emergency Operations Center.
