Over the last 14 days, we have seen a rise in both on-campus testing and confirmed cases of COVID-19. These cases have primarily occurred in clusters, and there is no evidence of broader community spread in classrooms, labs, or other shared spaces. Additionally, the number of pending COVID-19 tests, the delay in receiving results from the lab (currently over 80 hours), the number of students who are symptomatic, and a decline in compliance with mask-wearing and social distancing have necessitated additional action to protect the safety and wellbeing of our community.
Any illness, concerns about exposure, or other questions should be directed to the COVID-19 Hotline at 651.635.8500.
Because the increase in cases has been clustered, classes and university services will continue as planned for community members outside of these clusters. All community members should continue to practice social distancing, wear face coverings, and avoid large gatherings. These preventive measures are crucial to our ability to remain on campus together.
