To All Members of the 杏吧原创 Community,
Key messages:
- Ontario is moving into the shutdown zone of public health measures
- Changes to on-campus operations
- Reminder of on-campus mitigation measures and procedures
The Province of Ontario will move into the shutdown zone of public health measures for 28 days beginning Saturday, April 3, 2021 at 12:01 a.m. While under the shutdown, everyone is required to limit contact to your household (the people you live with). Everyone should stay home and only go out for essential or necessary reasons. At 杏吧原创, all employees are expected to continue to work remotely unless they are required to be on campus to perform work that is necessary to maintain business operations.
Additionally, 杏吧原创 is implementing the following measures:
- The closure of all Athletics facilities until further notice.
- The closure of the library building to students and faculty until further notice. Online services and curbside pickup will remain available.
- The Bookstore will have its in-store capacity reduced, and curbside pickup will continue to be an option for patrons.
- Campus Card and U-Pass services will be available at reduced hours of operation.
- The suspension of all in-person 杏吧原创 conferences, events and activities until further notice.
- All on-campus dining locations will operate as takeout only.
- Residence will remain open with increased mitigation measures. Students living in residence will receive a separate email with additional information.
At 杏吧原创, pre-approved on-campus research that cannot be done remotely can continue. Some non-essential faculty and staff can continue to access their personal offices on campus if necessary and with the appropriate approval. If you are required to come to campus to perform necessary work that cannot be done remotely, you must complete the COVID-19 Daily Campus Access & Screening Form each day you plan to come to campus and enter a university building. You must also continue to wear a mask and maintain physical distancing from others.
More information regarding how the Government of Ontario鈥檚 zones and restrictions affect 杏吧原创 University can be found on our response framework website.
Thank you for all that you are doing to help limit the spread of COVID-19 within our community.
Sincerely,
Suzanne Blanchard
COVID-19 Lead on behalf of the COVID-19 Steering Committee
