• Don’t come to campus if you’re sick and get tested if you have symptoms.

• More information to support return to campus can be found in the Guide to Campus Recovery, the Employee Return to Campus Plan and the Guide to Living with COVID-19 in our Campus Communities.
  
  
• Memorial uses five stages of risk levels for pandemic risk mitigation, which assist with the scale-up and scale-back plan for university functions.

• In response to federal government guidance strongly discouraging travel at this time, Memorial is suspending all international travel for university business. This decision will be re-evaluated as federal measures change based on successful vaccination roll-out and reduced risk. For questions or concerns, please contact vpacad@mun.ca.
