ANNAPOLIS, Md. \u2014 First and second class midshipmen will begin to return to the Naval Academy in Annapolis in about a week under a staggered plan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The midshipmen\u2019s return will start on or about July 20, Naval Academy spokeswoman Cmdr. Alana Garas told the Capital Gazette<\/a> on Friday. The fall semester will feature in-person and online classes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students will be tested for the coronavirus when they return to campus. Their movements will be restricted for 14 days, and they will undergo another test at the end of that period. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Garas said midshipmen will be 6-feet apart and wear masks during classes. Tents will soon be set up on campus to expand the space where students can eat their meals. <\/p>\n\n\n\t
