SIUE Students,
As you are no doubt aware, concerns about COVID-19 (commonly referred to as coronavirus) require an abundance of caution and have resulted in certain CDC guidelines pertaining to the sanitization and disinfection of surfaces and facilities. I wanted you to know that the SIUE Facilities Management team has already begun implementing these guidelines as a precaution. While the immediate health risk to Illinoisans for the virus remains low, Facilities Management began disinfecting restrooms and frequently touched surfaces earlier this week. Although much has already been communicated on the topic by others, attached is a letter from CMS that may provide additional information.
Regards,
Rich Walker
