A version of the following message was sent to all students and employees last week:

Spring break is here. We encourage you to reflect on how this moment feels in comparison to two years ago when COVID-19 began circulating. While you may continue to experience anxiety and concern about the future of the pandemic, you may simultaneously feel hopeful about where we are now as we see high vaccination rates and sustained declines in COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths.

Public health guidance is evolving in recognition of the progress our campus and community have made against COVID-19. We now have a variety of tools that provide robust protection against infection and serious illness. The community level of COVID-19 is low in Dane County and our campus vaccination rates are high. This supports the transition from campus-wide mandates to personal health decision-making.

We recently held two campus forums to help faculty, staff and students navigate these changes. You can watch a recording of the March 10 forum or go here to find an earlier forum from Feb. 24. For more information, read our FAQs and Public Health Madison & Dane County’s advice on mask wearing.

Visit the campus COVID-19 website; check out the FAQs; if you can’t find what you need, call email covidresponse@vc.wisc.edu or call (608) 262-7777
