The University of Oregon has implemented several strategies to prevent the spread of COVID-19

Published

on

Eugene, OR – According to the statement, published on UO website, these strategies include requiring faculty, staff and students to wear a face covering, watch their distance, stay home if they have symptoms and wash their hands often.

The University of Oregon says that face coverings are required at all times, except for indoors when alone in an enclosed room. Masks are required when in outdoor public spaces on campus regardless of whether six feet of distance can be maintained between people. Face shields can be worn in addition to a mask, but not in place of a mask.

People who work there and the students are required to perform a symptom self-check prior to coming to campus. They should not come to campus if COVID-19 symptoms are present or they feel sick. Similarly, they should leave campus right away if symptoms develop or they begin to feel sick.

We all know that many people are asymptomatic carriers of the virus. So, if you are asymptomatic, you can prevent further spread of the virus to your family, friends and others in the community by identifying the virus, isolating and cooperating with contact tracers.

The University of Oregon follows guidance from the Oregon Health Authority, Lane County Public Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention when setting workplace safety precautions and implementing UO safety regulations. These regulations will be amended if regulatory conditions change or guidance from health authorities evolves.
