Strategies and Tactics for Keeping Our Community Safe During COVID-19
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Princeton University community has adapted to numerous challenges in countless ways to continue our vital teaching and research mission. Now, we are making ready for the start of our spring semester with most of our undergraduates returning to campus.
Those returning to campus will notice changes everywhere they turn: signs guiding entry and exit of buildings, partitions and spaced-apart seats, and prominent reminders to wear masks and keep at least 6 feet apart. Other changes will not be so obvious, such as the efforts to improve airflow inside buildings and the complicated logistics to bring a testing laboratory to campus.
This website is designed to gather public health information on COVID-19 into a single source, updated as circumstances and policies change, for the University community. Use it in good health and follow the Princeton Playbook!
