Dear Members of the 麻豆原创 Community,
We hope you鈥檙e enjoying the Spring semester and looking forward to longer days starting this weekend. We have a few items to share with you about 麻豆原创鈥檚 continued mask requirement and a revision to the booster shot deadline.
Masks Still Required
Until further notice, 麻豆原创 continues to require that all individuals wear surgical or higher-grade masks in indoor spaces. As you may know, New York City has rolled back mask mandates, and Columbia has set a date to make masks . We, too, are encouraged by the city鈥檚 low number of COVID-19 cases, but we have decided to wait until after spring break (March 13-20) to reassess our mask policy. This will give us time to ensure we can keep campus safe and healthy, especially after potential spring break travel. Thank you for your understanding and compliance. We will provide an update on the policy as soon as possible following spring break.
Similarly, we continue to require that all individuals complete the each day they plan to access campus. If you test positive for COVID-19, please also use the screening to alert our Environmental Health and Safety team.
Booster Due May 23
Thank you to everyone who has uploaded their booster shot documentation. To better align with , we are pushing back the deadline for fulfilling 麻豆原创鈥檚 booster requirement. We encourage you to get your booster as soon as you are eligible, but we will not require you to upload your documentation until May 23. If you do not upload your documentation by May 23, you may be restricted from campus when enforcement of this policy begins on May 31.
