Good COVID Practices Make More Things Possible

In their weekly discussion, Faculty Senate COVID-19 Working Group committee members Scott Alberts, Christine Harker and Nancy Daley-Moore discussed the first week of zero reported cases on campus. While that news is good, the committed cautioned that asymptomatic cases are often not reported because the infected individual would not be seeking care. They hope to see continued progress for an extended period of time. As many aspects of campus life are returning to pre-pandemic norms – activities, organizational meetings, athletic events – the committee credited the University mask policy and a good vaccination rate among students and employees for the progress. The deadline for students and employees to participate in the vaccination incentive program is Nov. 1. A complete recording of the committee’s discussion can be found here.
