2020-covid15

You鈥檝e probably heard that most counties in Florida have begun to lift restrictions and have entered into a Phase I recovery.聽However, 国产自拍鈥檚 operations have not changed since the university began this period of remote learning and remote working.聽Remote instruction will continue through at least the Summer III session, which runs from June 27 through Aug. 7. Remote working continues until further notice.

While we monitor state and local conditions, many members of the 国产自拍 community are formulating our return-to-work and in-person instruction plans. Our re-opening will be a phased return, and will follow all appropriate guidance and health recommendations. This information will be communicated at the appropriate time. Until then, the university has implemented a few聽 safety measures 聽to help protect the 国产自拍 community while on our campuses.

For those who need to visit our campuses, either regularly or periodically,聽 please wear face coverings聽 in public areas when physical distancing is not possible.聽 Face coverings are required聽 when in close proximity to others, including in restrooms and elevators, and when using 国产自拍 transportation. Do not overcrowd any of these spaces. Face coverings, which should be kept with you at all times, can be handmade, such as those fashioned from a scarf, bandana or handkerchief, or T-shirt.

Physical distancing 聽remains the best way to slow the spread of COVID-19. Remain at least six feet away from others and continue to use electronic forms of communication in lieu of in-person meetings whenever possible. Keep your hands clean with soap and water or hand sanitizer. Also, everyone is responsible for keeping their own office space sanitized. High touch points should be cleaned every two hours.

Remember, if you are feeling unwell, stay home! And if you are experiencing symptoms associated with COVID-19, please seek medical attention immediately. Students聽receiving a positive test result for COVID-19 must notify聽Student Health Services聽as soon as possible. The number is聽561-297-3512聽(after hours, please select option 3). All聽faculty and staff聽must notify聽Human Resources by calling聽561-297-3076聽or emailing聽 gzaidman@fau.edu .聽Your supervisor also should be notified.

Finally, be sure to check our dedicated COVID-19 regularly for updates, as information related to the COVID-19 pandemic changes often. I greatly appreciate everyone鈥檚 understanding and cooperation in helping to prevent the spread of this virus.
