Beginning Tomorrow

1. Take a COVID-19 viral test within the two weeks prior to the start of the semester (August 27) and report the result;
2. Complete daily online symptom monitoring beginning two weeks prior to their arrival on campus or the start of the semester on August 27 (whichever is sooner); and
3. Complete an online health and safety training module.

I don't actually start on campus till the Sept 14  All this trouble just to go back to work.

@songbird   Good luck and I totally understand about all this trouble.

I take it to mean we are in a different world now when before we just got up and did our thing everyday, be it work or shopping or school or whatever the day would bring.

Be well.

Good luck with opening up.

What are the shutdown proceedures when there are COVID-19 outbreaks? They seem to be happening within days of everyone being back on campus. I hope those are followed well to contain them.

My son has his first class tomorrow on campus.  He is a little scared but I told him to carry his hand sanitizer, wear his mask and be safe.  Two of his 5 classes are in person and the rest are online.

@beach-mom  Thanks!   I took online classes when I was in college.  I took two of them.  My sister and brother did also.  I enjoyed it.  The school required you to be on campus Freshman year and at least 50% of the time in order to graduate.  We'll just have the Freshmen on campus till Thanksgiving break.  Freshmen more then any other year need to be on campus in the beginning.  

I'll only be on campus a couple of hours three times a week. I'll still be doing research online though as I usually do in the mornings.  We'll be  isolated from the public when we are on campus.  Since I'll be physically there, I still have to be protected & understand the risks.  I think ths pandemic will be continuing well in to 2022.

@songbird - I'm glad you don't have to be there a lot, and you can still work mostly from home!  Most places around here are not requiring tests, but are taking employees' temperatures every day.  No matter what the requirements are, it's still concerning. I've gone to a few meetings, although no more than 25 can attend. I sit at a separate table right by the door. (I arrived late to the first one, so someone put the table there. Now it has become "my" table - LOL!) Most of my meetings are by Zoom. I like it that way!

Songbird, sounds like your campus is thorough. Good luck and stay safe and healthy.
