Read the Weekly COVID-19 Update from Tuesday, Feb. 23, 2021.

You can find the most updated dashboard numbers here, and the historical data here. For those interested, COVID-19 data for the State of Iowa is here.

Campus will continue to operate in YELLOW. Once again, my thanks to everyone for following guidelines. Your consistency with wearing masks and following health and safety protocols is clearly paying off. Please keep it up.

A few important notes:

• The on-campus Test Iowa site remains open for rapid testing by appointment. It is free and available to all undergraduate students, faculty, and staff.
• We are entering a period where all sports will be running due to the schedule/rescheduling around COVID-19. Excellent communication and attentiveness to details will be needed from our entire campus community as we navigate this busy time period. Students, please be attentive to your schedule. Communicate with your professors and coaches so you can manage both your academic and athletic responsibilities. Faculty and staff, please be advised of the situation so you can assist students as needed.
• We are only two weeks from spring break. Those planning to travel should be diligent about protecting yourself from exposure or illness so as not to disrupt plans. Additionally, any students planning to travel should monitor COVID-19 restrictions at their intended destination.

Let’s keep campus healthy. Please keep wearing your masks, and take care of one another and yourselves.

Be well,
Spicer
