Fall 2020 Return-to-Campus #13 – Labor Day Weekend

Thursday, Sep 03, 2020

Labor Day is Monday, Sept. 7. While this year’s holiday likely will be very different, hopefully, all students, faculty, and staff can enjoy a relaxing long weekend. In order to help keep the FAU community safe during the early weeks of the Fall semester, please consider specific safety measures during the weekend, either on or off-campus. Protect Your Owl Family  is the theme of FAU’s health and safety efforts, and everyone’s actions can help slow the spread of COVID-19.

The  Centers for Disease Control and Prevention  offers guidelines and general recommendations to help keep your Labor Day  weekend safe and enjoyable  with fun and healthy activities, whether staying local or traveling. Those guidelines include, but are not limited to:

- Wear a face covering when you leave home
- Practice physical distancing; stay six feet away from those not in your household
- Wash your hands often; carry hand sanitizer (at least 60% alcohol) when soap and water are not available
- Stay home if you are sick
- Assemble a COVID-19 travel kit, including such items as face coverings, hand sanitizer, disinfecting wipes and tissues
- Pack your own food and drinks; avoid sharing with others
- Choose outdoor activities over indoor gatherings
- Arrive at locations early or during off-peak times to avoid crowds
- Monitor your health daily

The dedicated COVID-19 website remains the best source of FAU-specific information. General questions related to the COVID-19 situation should be directed to  FAUCOVID19@fau.edu . All feedback will be shared with applicable departments across the FAU campuses to ensure adjustments, as necessary.
