A university in Manitoba is asking people to pray as they announce its classes will not be meeting.

Canadian Mennonite University announced class changes for Monday and Tuesday. They are asking people to pray for those who are vulnerable and those working to "constrain" COVID-19.

President Cheryl Pauls says that CMU is a "praying community" and well as a learning one.

"Let us pray for all," Pauls adds.

The school will be hosting classes using online methods.
