SUBJECT: COVID-19 Weekly Update
DATE: September 14, 2021
Every Tuesday, the Gustavus COVID-19 Response Leadership Team will send out a weekly update that includes tips and reminders, policy updates, and information about on-campus COVID-19 cases. These messages are sent to all students, faculty, and staff along with Gustavus parents who have an email address on file with the College.
WEEKLY TIP
Remember that masks are currently required indoors until at least September 20.
- Masks are required in indoor spaces
- Masks may be removed when students are in their residence hall room with the door closed without guests, or when employees are working alone in a closed office
- Masks are required when inside a vehicle if more than one person is present when traveling for College-sponsored activities
- Masks may be removed when actively eating in designated dining areas such as the Market Place, the Courtyard Cafe, and The STEAMery
The COVID-19 Leadership Team, Faculty Emergency Planning Committee, and President’s Cabinet are reviewing the mask mandate in conjunction with on-campus and local case numbers and will communicate updates to the Gustavus community by Sunday, September 19.
