Dear CC Community,
We have been able to achieve our goal of being together in person this year because you have been doing your part to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Your care for each other is making a difference.
Beginning with lunch today, campus dining at Rastall Café will reopen for dine-in service and all regular meals.
For indoor dining to be successful, I ask that everyone take extra precautions:
- If your schedule allows, go to Rastall early or late during dining hours to avoid crowds.
- Keep your KN95 mask on and lower it only when actively eating or drinking. This is similar to protocols in place during air travel when asked to wear masks between bites of food and sips of drinks.
- Takeout options are available for students who prefer to eat elsewhere.
- No extended lingering and socializing without masks, please.
- We will increase ventilation in various ways, including opening doors.
In addition to reopening Rastall Café, concessions will resume at public events at Robson Arena (starting Saturday with limited offerings), and the Fine Arts Center. Hosts of meetings and gatherings have the option to offer refreshments. Again, if food or drink is available, please keep your KN95 mask on and lower it only when actively eating or drinking, and open windows and doors to increase ventilation.
With the exception of quick sips of water, food and drink consumption continues to be prohibited in class.
Other on-campus dining areas may reopen as we continue to monitor our data and to adapt and respond to changing circumstances. Please continue to participate in regular screening testing and follow our risk mitigation protocols:
- All students must participate in screening testing on Mondays and Thursdays.
- Get your booster shot as soon as you are eligible and submit your documentation.
- Wear KN95 or similar filtration masks in indoor public spaces.
- Limit indoor social interactions and prioritize safer outdoor activities.
If we see a spike in COVID positivity, we may reverse this decision.
Thanks to our COVID-19 Policy and Implementation Committee for their tremendous work to monitor and respond to COVID-19. And thank you for all you are doing to reduce risk, allowing us to have an in-person, on-campus experience.
Sincerely,
|
