https://umd.edu/4Maryland/covid-testingWe will no longer require the collection of health data from program participants. We suggest you maintain sign-in records in case of possible exposure.
We recommend that faculty and staff keep the following best practices:
1. Good hygiene practices to include the availability of hand sanitizer and/or handwashing stations in offices and at programming events;
2. Individualized snack or lunch portions for programming;
3. Routine testing for those individuals who are in dense population areas as a matter of protection and to ease any potential spread of the virus.Thank you for your continued commitment to Marylanders across the state.
