The VIU Communicable Diseases Plan will be released this week and focuses on basic risk reduction principles to reduce the risk of transmission of COVID-19 and other communicable diseases on our campuses.

Key to the efforts of re-opening campus will be:

• Wash your hands regularly with soap and water

• Cover your sneeze and cough

• Clean personal and shared surfaces frequently

• If you’re feeling sick, stay home

• Keep vaccines up to date
