Now, more than ever, it’s important for all of us to work together as a community to keep everyone safe and healthy.

The university has developed a  to isolate and contain all situations that arise for those who visit or live on campus.

• If you are feeling unwell, please do not come to campus. Seek guidance from Public Health.

• If a faculty member, staff member or student receives a positive COVID-19 test, Durham Region Public Health (DRPH) assesses the risk of transmission within the university community, as well as the need for contact tracing and follow-up. DRPH provides direction to the university to mitigate any risk of community transmission. The university provides DRPH with information to help with contact tracing.

• If Public Health asks you to isolate, or if you test positive, your first step should always be to notify our Case Management team. Please refer to our  for additional details.
  • Note: Do not return to campus until you have been cleared by Public Health and the university’s Case Management team has given you permission to return.
• If you become aware of someone who is perceived to be ill, or has tested positive, or if you live with or have otherwise come into contact with someone who has been exposed or has tested positive and has been to campus, follow the steps outlined in our .

General processes and safety measures:

• Wear a mask or face covering in all university buildings.
• Self-screen daily, practise physical distancing, and sanitize regularly.
• Only come to campus for a scheduled class, activity, service appointment or to use campus resources, such as the Campus Library.
• Leave campus buildings immediately after your scheduled appointment or activity.
• Follow physical distancing whenever possible, including when you are off campus.

We’ll continue to provide COVID-19 updates to the campus community through email, social media (as applicable), the ºÚÁÏÍø mobile app and on the Ready for You website.
