Our Approach
A team of faculty and staff have been working diligently to plan for a safe reopening of campus. This group, known as the COVID-19 response team, has set safety guidelines and identified needed resources.
Our approach is based on guidance from county, state and federal health officials; as well as unique factors, such as local hospital capacity and our own capabilities. This is a dynamic situation that we will continue to monitor closely, and make any needed adjustments to mitigate the risk of COVID-19 exposure. Our community standards include:
|
|
COVID-19 spreads mainly from person to person through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, talks, or raises their voice. Wearing a face covering reduces the amount of droplets produced by the wearer and currently, wearing a face covering and social distancing is the most effective way to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Wearing a face covering is not a political statement. |
|
If you feel ill, do not go to work or classes. Self-isolate and stay at home or in your residence hall room and contact your health care provider or Wilcox Medical Center at (989) 463-7181 for direction. |
|
|
Keep a safe space — about six feet — between yourself and people who aren’t in your household, in both indoor and outdoor areas. Social distancing should be practiced in combination with other ways of staying healthy, such as wearing face coverings. |
|
It’s important to identify and separate people who are ill — even if they are asymptomatic. All campus community members must record their temperature and complete risk screening questions in an online Daily Screening Form. |
