As the Spring semester is now underway, please remember these important safety tips:
- Remember to wear a mask and practice social distancing and frequent hand washing/cleaning. If you have a face-to-face class, please check your temperature daily before coming to class.
- If you are experiencing symptoms or have been diagnosed with COVID-19 or if you have interacted with someone who is exhibiting symptoms or has been diagnosed with COVID-19, please follow the University guidelines on quarantining/isolation found here: https://www.utoledo.edu/coronavirus/signage/pdf/rocket-restart-manual.pdf. Please do not attend a face-to-face class until you have met the criteria to do so safely.
- Feel free to direct questions to Dr. Monica Holiday-Goodman, CPPS COVID-19 Advocate at Monica.Holiday-Goodman@utoledo.edu. Let’s work together to keep one another safe!
