CHICAGO (AP) — The University of Illinois has allowed medical students to graduate early as the pressing need for healthcare workers has increased amid coronavirus outbreak.

The Chicago Tribune reports that graduates could start their residency programs early. Graduating students also had to find out where they were accepted for their residencies online, which is referred to as Match Day.

It is usually a day of celebration with family and peers. Some students were even removed from their clinical rotations due to health concerns.
