Help stop the spread of COVID-19 in our communities
COVID-19 cases are spiking in our region and we must do our part to help reverse this trend. In consultation with local health agencies, I am asking you to take action to help stop the spread.
Keep doing what you’re doing. It’s working.
You’ve probably heard me say that being in a university classroom is one of the safest places you can be during the COVID-19 pandemic. Thanks to your compliance with safety and hygiene basics, our testing numbers are proving this to be true.
UWO imposes restrictions, increases testing in response to COVID-19 results
UW Oshkosh is implementing additional restrictions in residence halls and dining practices, and we are stepping up testing of all Oshkosh campus residence hall students to stem the spread of COVID-19 on our campuses.
