Dear Colleagues,
We are looking forward to beginning the Fall 2020 semester very soon. As we prepare to Return to SIUE to serve our students who are learning on-ground and remotely, living on-campus, or accessing student services, it is imperative that we make community health and safety a priority. More than ever, we want our community to thrive, our institution to remain open, and our faculty, staff, and students to remain healthy.
In the coming weeks, please continue to practice the following to care for yourself, care for others and care for our SIUE community.
Take Care of Yourself
- Limit exposure to others. Stay home whenever possible.
- Wash your hands and practice good hygiene. Carry and use personal hand sanitizer regularly.
- Practice social distancing.
- Wipe down surfaces with cleaning and disinfecting products or other household cleaners.
- Utilize disposable utensils and plates when possible.
Take Care of Others
- Stay home if you are not feeling well.
- Wear face coverings properly, covering your mouth and nose. Make certain face coverings are cleaned regularly.
- Follow instructions from SIUE about COVID-19 guidelines, quarantine and isolation.
Take Care of your Community
- Help keep areas clean before and after use.
- Follow instructional signage.
- Follow the instructions related to illness and exposure if you are experiencing COVID-19 related symptoms but have not yet tested positive; have close contact exposure; or have been diagnosed as presumptive or confirmed positive.
Please know that we value and recognize your contributions to SIUE, our students and our shared community. Your commitment to keeping yourself and others healthy is appreciated.
Take care and stay well.
