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

• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
• Follow CDC cleaning recommendations.

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.
