Updated Campus COVID Guidelines
March 04, 2022As we watch COVID-19 case counts drop on campus, I want to thank each of you for all you have done and are doing to take care of yourself and others.
With our case counts on campus low and our understanding, tools, and treatments for COVID-19 continuing to grow, we are coming to a place where we manage COVID on campus much as we manage other illnesses like the flu. Last week, the CDC updated its guidance, recognizing the changing dynamics of living in a world with COVID-19. As of yesterday, the CDC has downgraded Knox County’s community level from high to medium, recommending that those with high risk for severe illness talk with their health care providers about the use of masks and other precautions.
