Keep up the good work to avoid quarantine before Thanksgiving
As Thanksgiving approaches, please use extra precautions in terms of consistent mask-wearing and a minimum of 6-feet of physical distancing. Any student who tests positive or is in close contact with someone testing positive in the 14 days before Thanksgiving will remain in isolation or quarantine until campus health professionals clear them for travel.
You've done a great job throughout the semester, don't let up now. Nobody wants to miss out on time with family and friends, so take special care to follow the ObieSafe guidelines in the coming weeks.
Check out the CDC guidelines on how to safely enjoy the upcoming holiday.
Use Full Measure to help prevent spread in dining halls
As part of our layered health care strategy, we are expanding the application of Full Measure, the daily survey that results in a green or gray access pass that you can display on your mobile phone. Beginning January 2, 2021, all faculty, students, and staff will need to show their green access pass when entering Oberlin’s dining halls. Downloading your access pass demonstrates a commitment to public health and the health of your fellow Obies, as well as a commitment to your own health by self-assessing how you feel each day.
