COVID-19 Updates: Employees

Detailed COVID-19 Info for Employees

Please refer to the campus operational status updates for the latest information and safety guidelines.

As of June 1, 2021, CMCI staff will maintain the work modalities that they have been over the past year. Updated guidance will be communicated to staff and supervisors of staff later this summer.

Health and Safety

Anyone with symptoms should be tested. In general, you do not need a test if you do not have COVID-19 symptoms. Use the CDC Self-Checker to guide you to make a decision and seek appropriate medical care.

The CDC recommends testing for anyone in close contact with someone who is infected. The incubation period (the time between being exposed and developing symptoms) is two to 14 days, with about 50% of people showing symptoms around day 5. For the most up-to-date information, visit the CDC’s website.

If you are experiencing any symptoms of illness:

Stay home
Complete the form
Notify your supervisor

Supervisors are required to complete the form on behalf of their employee (faculty, TA, GPTI, RA, staff) in addition to the employee’s completion of the form and to follow campus guidelines for supervisor responsibilities.

As part of campus monitoring and contact tracing, employees will be able to be tested on campus if they are identified as having been potentially exposed.

If an employee is identified as having been potentially exposed on campus, that person will be informed of testing options as part of the campus contact tracing process.

Deep Cleaning and Sanitizing

Cleaning of Classrooms, Common Areas and Individual Offices
Use of Common Areas and Workspaces

Classrooms and high-touch common areas will be cleaned by the campus custodial teams each day. These teams will not be cleaning every classroom between classes, so faculty and students will have access to sanitizing wipes and are asked to wipe down their individual areas of use before and after class. To learn more, please visit Facilities Management Campus Infrastructure Mitigation.

Disinfectant wipes: Campus is providing disinfecting wipes in classrooms so that instructors and students have the opportunity to wipe the surfaces they will use during a given class period, i.e. desk, chair or podium. (The same wipes can be used for both hands and surfaces.)
Hand sanitizer stations: To provide students, faculty and staff added opportunities for sanitization upon entering and exiting buildings or after interactions with others, campus is providing an increased offering of hand sanitizer at all main building entrances and in public areas of campus buildings.
Disinfectant spray solution for private offices, kitchens, break rooms and meeting spaces: Each building on campus will have centrally located bottles of spray disinfectant and paper towels for faculty, staff and students to use when disinfecting their private offices and common areas. Individuals are responsible for wiping down their private offices, conference rooms, kitchens and break rooms before and after use. Please return the cleaning supplies to the central location after you have used them.
Deskside waste and recycling services are suspended. Please remove trash and recycling from your private office and deposit in your building’s common trash and recycling receptacles.

Common areas such as mail rooms and copier/work rooms will be available on a limited basis.

Common items such as pens, scissors, etc. will be removed to reduce the potential spread of COVID-19.
It is strongly recommended that digital handouts be distributed to students in your classes to reduce the potential spread of COVID-19. Distribution of paper handouts is discouraged.

Kitchens and break rooms will be available on a limited basis for food storage and heating.

Common items such as coffee makers, utensils, dishes, sponges, etc. will be removed to reduce the potential spread of COVID-19.
Individuals are expected to clean the common kitchen and break room spaces before and after use. Cleaning supplies are located centrally in each building for use by faculty, staff, and students. Please use and return cleaning supplies when finished.
Food should not be consumed in the break rooms or kitchens, nor will it be allowed in classrooms or common areas. It is to be consumed outside the buildings or, by faculty and staff, in their personal closed-door offices. Food consumption in individual offices is restricted to one person only. For gatherings of more than one, please move outside.
Conference rooms, labs and study/gathering spaces will be available on a limited basis by reservation.
Individuals are expected to clean the common space before and after use. Cleaning supplies are located centrally in each building for use by faculty, staff, and students. Please use and return cleaning supplies when finished.
