Short Summary:

Spring Break extended by a week, no more in-person instruction. All events cancelled, faculty and staff must report if they were within 6 feet of an infected individual. International travel must be reported and you must self-quarantine for 14 days before returning to campus. Domestic travel is highly discouraged.
