Campus Prevention

In addition to general coronavirus prevention guidance, employees and students are expected to practice the following COVID-19 prevention practices:

Social Distancing

Use best efforts to keep at least 6 feet of separation from other individuals. If such distancing is not feasible, other measures such as hand hygiene, cough etiquette, cleanliness and sanitation should be practiced rigorously.
Minimize the use of other people’s phones, devices, tools and equipment.
Respect others in communal or enclosed spaces, including elevators, by limiting entry.

Use of Face Coverings

Face coverings are encouraged on campus, especially for those who are not fully vaccinated, but they are not required.

Frequent Handwashing

Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing.
If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60 percent alcohol. Cover all surfaces of your hands and rub them together until they feel dry.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.

Respiratory and Cough Etiquette

If you are in a private setting and do not have on a face covering, remember to always cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze or use the inside of your elbow.
Throw used tissues in the trash.
Immediately wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not readily available, clean your hands with a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60 percent alcohol.

Cleaning and Disinfection

Awareness

Be generally aware of who you are in close contact with, especially for extended periods of time, so that contact tracing can be performed if you become symptomatic.
Provide information, as needed, to help with contact tracing.
