“On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. Later, on March 11, the WHO made the assessment that COVID-19 was a global health pandemic. Measures taken by federal, state, and local officials to contain the spread of the virus, including travel bans, quarantines, social distancing, and closures of non-essential services have triggered significant disruptions to businesses, resulting in an economic slowdown. The global outbreak of COVID-19 has caused disruptions in operations for institutions of higher education. In an effort to minimize the spread of COVID-19 on its campus, the University of Massachusetts instituted hybrid format utilizing online and in-person classes. Occupancy requirements in all areas are continually monitored and updated as needed to meet requirements per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Massachusetts guidelines.”
