UPDATE: August 26, 2021
Effective September 27, 2021, the University of Rochester will require all faculty and staff to be vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus. This requirement to be vaccinated supersedes all previously communicated deadlines regarding vaccination reporting and testing for unvaccinated employees, including the vaccination-related information included in the message below.
As guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and from New York State continues to be updated, the Coronavirus University Restart Team (CURT) and senior leadership have updated the guidance for the fall on the University’s non-Medical Center campuses.
Currently, Monroe County’s rate of COVID infections is “high,” according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), meaning wearing a mask indoors in public and shared spaces will maximize individuals’ protection from the Delta variant. These guidelines will be updated as additional CDC, county and New York State guidance is distributed, so please check back regularly to the COVID-19 Resource Center site. For the latest Medical Center updates, see the URMC Intranet.
