Important COVID-19 Safety Reminders
- Please remain committed. Our rates have been low all semester, which can create a false sense of security. COVID is contagious and there are no COVID-free environments, including our campus, so we can’t let our guard down.
- Follow the community guidelines 100% of the time. We are deep into the semester, and this is hard work. But our COVID guidelines have helped keep our exposure and infection rates low, and we need to maintain our vigilance: wear masks, distance, wash hands frequently, adhere to room capacity guidelines (in all spaces across campus), and follow off-campus travel rules.
