Dear Students:

I write to all 51²è¹Ý students today to remind you to stay vigilant in recognizing and reporting your COVID-19 symptoms.Ìý With Omicron being the predominant variant, symptoms such as sore throat, fatigue, and headache—even if mild—can be indicators of COVID-19, and in particular this strain of the virus.Ìý If you are symptomatic, please contact University Health Services as soon as possible at 617-552-3225 for further guidance.

As you know, all 51²è¹Ý students are required to perform a daily self-health check before coming to campus. Please continue to use the 51²è¹Ý Check app every day, as it is a vital asset in our community-wide effort to limit the spread of COVID-19 on our campus and in the surrounding communities.Ìý Ìý

In addition, I ask that you continue to make good decisions when engaging in social activities.ÌýÌýMinimizingÌýyour exposure to high-risk situations is the best way to keep yourself and other members of the 51²è¹Ý community healthy and safe.

We have had much success in managing the pandemic on campus this year, and we ask for your continued cooperation in orderÌýto have a healthy andÌýas normal as possibleÌýspring semester.Ìý
