[CCoE Notice] DOR guidance and returning to campus

[Knudsen, Rachel W]

Dear Faculty,

You may have seen the guidance shown below from the Chancellor that was sent earlier today. The College will be emailing you all with specific instructions once DOR guidance with further details is received. Until then, we remain in the remote working mode. Please do not hesitate to email us if you have any questions.

On Tuesday, May 5, research labs at UH can be opened by those researchers who wish to do so. This is voluntary, not mandatory.  Certain administrative services necessary to assist the researchers will also open. The Division of Research will soon send out an email with details.

A few measures have been taken to ensure a safe working environment as we reopen that include:

  1.  Anyone working in a lab will be required to complete a training module, pass a self-health screening test and is expected to cooperate with contact tracing. The training and screening can be found on AccessUH<https://cloudapps.uh.edu/sendit/l/MmjXlUftaI28etMYpfcLgQ/7nciwNXxNRNhrWonrqmUAw/763892ok763J41Zk892iBU72XVwolg> beginning Friday, May 1.
  2.  All CDC and state rules of social distancing will be followed, including the use of face masks if anyone is working in close proximity of others (within 6 feet).
  3.  UH Facilities will adhere to strict rules to clean and disinfect common spaces and arrangements must be made to clean and disinfect lab areas per CDC guidelines.
  4.  Anyone showing symptoms<https://cloudapps.uh.edu/sendit/l/MmjXlUftaI28etMYpfcLgQ/88HU5lfMzOQkUAHNMM892C763A/763892ok763J41Zk892iBU72XVwolg> of COVID-19 or suffering from any respiratory illness will not be allowed in labs.
  5.  Lab personnel will follow proper UH protocol if a positive COVID-19 case is identified in a lab.
