As members of the Georgetown University community, we all have a shared responsibility to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and abide by the health and safety guidelines of the Georgetown University Community Compact, the District of Columbia and the federal government.
|
|
Among those measures specified in the Community Compact, those on campus or students living in the Georgetown, Burleith, or Foxhall neighborhoods must:
- Wear a mask over your nose and mouth at all times (except when alone in a room, when eating/drinking, when in your personal residence without guests, or when exercising outdoors with at least six feet of physical distancing);
- Maintain physical distancing of at least six feet;
- Limit non-university-sponsored gatherings to no more than ten individuals; and
-
Complete a daily health attestation in order to access University buildings, if approved to be on campus.
|
|
If a student or faculty or staff member observes an individual or group whom they suspect is not acting in accordance with established health and safety protocols, they can report these incidents through the COVID-19 Incident Report Form. Learn more here.
