[bioundgrd] Materials and info for plans for Summer and fall (from the May 24 8am call)

[Alan D Grossman]

Dear all,

Attached are materials from this mornings COVID MIT meeting:  lots of information, and good news, about what to anticipate for this summer and fall.  There are three files attached:

•info on federal, state, and city guidelines
•info on campus testing and vaccine status, and anticipation for fall --(tentative plans)
•info on summer as transition to fall, and precautions that will be lifted and others that will remain.

All-in-all, good news. Please note; the new guidelines and policies will take effect on Monday June 7 (2021). Some key points:

•research labs back at 100% (still wearing masks)
•restroom and elevators back to pre-covid capacities
•eating indoors allowed, BUT, groups of ≤ ~4 with 6’ spacing
•regular pre-covid classroom capacities!
•continued COVID pass, testing and attestations, although testing frequencies likely to change.

Again, all starting Monday 6/7.
