Be a Safe Lancer: Avoid social gatherings

We all play a vital role in preventing the spread of COVID-19 on campus and in our community.

Avoid social gatherings, especially indoors, and limit your social circle to members of your household.

Stay in touch and connected with friends and colleagues using video chat (FaceTime, Microsoft Teams) whenever possible.

If you are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, self-isolate immediately and get tested.

Continue to Be a Safe Lancer and keep yourself and others safe and healthy!

It's flu season.

This year’s flu season is taking place at the same time as COVID-19. Ontario health officials encourage vaccination to ensure healthcare resources are available for care of patients with COVID-19.

The flu vaccine is available through your doctor or nurse practitioner, participating pharmacies and local public health units. Visit Public Health Ontario to learn more.

Guarding against the flu includes many of the same protocols in place to defend against COVID-19. These include washing your hands often with soap and water, or when not available, through use of hand sanitizer. For more tips on how to avoid getting and spreading the flu, click here.

Keep track! Record Logs are key to contact tracing

Record Logs play an important role in contact tracing when needed and required by Windsor Essex County Health Unit (WECHU).

University employees who are on campus are responsible to maintain a 14-day record of their work days, work locations and any possible close contacts. You can also keep record using Outlook Calendar.

What is a close contact?

A close contact is anyone you were in contact with and were within 2 metres of, even if masked; and
Longer than 15 minutes.
