With the university\u2019s plans for\u00a0Returning to Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½<\/a>\u00a0approved by the Board of Trustees, it is especially incumbent on each one of us to take steps to prevent further spread of COVID-19 and\u00a0make Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ a safer place<\/a>\u00a0for all of us.<\/p>\n

Face coverings are just one of the critical prevention measures Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ is adopting. The coverings help contain small droplets that come out of your mouth and nose. If you have COVID-19 and are not showing symptoms, a face covering reduces your chance of spreading the infection to others. If you are healthy, a covering may protect you from those around you.<\/p>\n

Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ has begun distributing one free cotton, reusable covering to those returning to Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½. Distribution will continue throughout the summer, and additional locations will be added in the fall to accommodate the higher demand as more return to Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½.<\/p>\n

Face Covering Distribution<\/h2>\n

Cloth face coverings are being distributed at several locations on the main and downtown campuses, with distribution stations coming to the Rosen and Lake Nona campuses in the near future. One face covering will be assigned to each member of the Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ community, and a valid Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ ID card is required to obtain one. Students, faculty and staff may also pick up a face covering for their friends and coworkers as long as they have that person\u2019s Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ ID.<\/p>\n

A map and listing of\u00a0distribution locations\u00a0and operating hours are listed here.<\/p>\n
