Dear Students, Faculty, and Staff,
Utah has moved to an endemic phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. At Utah Valley University, we continue to work with our national, state, and local health partners to monitor for any change that could negatively impact our UVU community. While COVID-19 case tracking is no longer occurring on campus, we monitor infection rates weekly on a regional and state level.
As part of Utah’s transition to a Steady State response, UVU is also taking the following actions:
COVID-19 infection rates are currently fluctuating in Utah. (For more information about the COVID date, visit the CDC website.) We ask that those who are ill continue to follow health protocols, including staying home, physical distancing from other people, and considering wearing a mask until well.
Sincerely,
Robin Ebmeyer
Director of Emergency Management and Safety
We created resources to help our faculty and staff understand best practices and guidelines to ensure a safe work environment for everyone. We continue to follow guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and state and local health departments. If you are in doubt about a situation or how to proceed, please reach out to Human Resources at (801) 863-8207.
