University Hills COVID-19 Latest Updates

Dear University Hills Residents,

We hope that you and your household members are doing well. Irvine Campus Housing Authority and the Homeowner Representative Board will send out a weekly r oundup of important news and announcements to keep you updated on the latest during COVID-19 (coronavirus). While ICHA's physical office is closed, we are working remotely 8 am to 5 pm Monday through Friday to serve you. See contact information at icha.uci.edu/contact-us or uhills.org/icha-phone-numbers . Go to uci.edu/coronavirus/updates for the latest information about COVID-19 and its impact on UC Irvine.

Tennis Courts to Reopen on Wednesday

The HRB has recommended and ICHA has agreed to follow the Orange County Health Care Agency ’s (OCHCA) guidance and the City of Irvine’s example and allow the tennis courts to reopen for singles play only starting Wednesday, May 20, 2020. Please click here to view the temporary tennis court rules , which will be posted at the courts and found on Uhills.org. ICHA does not have staffing capacity to monitor the tennis courts activities, thus playing will be on an honor system. ICHA reserves the right to close the tennis courts if these temporary rules are not being followed. Please abide by the rules in order to keep the courts open for both you and your neighbors. Obviously, you play at your own risk—use the best practices recommended by the CDC and OCHCA.

As of today, there are no plans to open any other University Hills recreational facility during Phase 2 of California’s Resilience Roadmap . ICHA management is working on a plan that may allow the reopening of some facilities, with appropriate restrictions and guidelines, after Phase 3 is in place.

Until the day we can all gather safely together, be well and be safe.

Coronavirus Prevention Best Practices

Please help to minimize the impacts of coronavirus for yourself and your neighbors by doing the following:

Only exercise alone or with immediate members of your household (those with whom you are living with during the Stay at Home order).
Keep at least 6 feet (2 meters) away from those who are not in your household.
Remember to wave, say hello, and be neighborly. We can all benefit from seeing a familiar and smiling face these days.
Consider wearing a mask when outdoors to protect both yourself and your neighbors.
Avoid crowded locations.
Consider walking on sidewalks in the same direction as vehicular traffic to minimize pedestrian proximity on walkways narrower than 6 feet wide.
Avoid group sports that includes close proximity or shared sports equipment with anyone other than your household.
Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
Stay home when you are sick.
Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
Clean and disinfect frequently-touched objects and surfaces.
