CHSS Digest
March 3, 2021
Colleagues,
I join President Washington in continuing to urge all faculty, staff, and students to remain vigilant regarding proactive steps we can take to keep each other healthy in the face of COVID-19.
There is good news about increased testing for the COVID-19 virus here at Mason and nationally, as well as word of vaccines becoming more readily available in the coming months. This hopeful news, however, cannot be a license for us to let down our guard.
We have a responsibility to ourselves and to each other to continue to wear face coverings properly, practice physical distancing, wash hands regularly, take the Mason COVID Health Check™ daily, and stay home and isolate when we feel sick. Through consistent adherence to these steps, we will continue to slow the spread of COVID-19 – including its variant strains – until we can truly begin to return to a “normal” university experience.
As President Washington noted in his remarks at the last Board of Visitors meeting, now is not the time to ease our vigilance.
I thank you for your continued and consistent attention to keeping our community safe.
With all good wishes,
Ann
