All of the efforts that all of you are making to stay safe, to stay away from campus if you have symptoms, to use face coverings, and to participate in testing are more critical now than ever. Continue to avoid gatherings, follow the guidance or requirements of civil authorities, and seek out medical care or further testing when warranted. Please be mindful when arriving from outside the state of Maine that quarantine or testing requirements will apply to you. Please also do your utmost to keep your loved ones and communities safe if you are moving about or visiting with others.
