Socialize Safer

COVID-19 Student Health and Safety

If you are planning to be social, there are ways to reduce the risk to yourself and others.  However, all in person activities come with some level of risk, even when wearing a mask and maintaining physical distance.

 Avoid the 3 C’s

• Closed confined spaces with poor ventilation
• Crowded places – more people leads to more risk
• Close contact settings– especially with those outside your “team” where close conversations are happening

The highest risk occurs when you have all three of these conditions .
