Continuation of COVID-19 Policies & Procedures

Over the past two to three weeks, The Lundquist Institute has implemented a number of policies and procedures relating to the COVID-19 situation.  These policies are being extended for the next two weeks, thru April 17, 2020, with no significant changes.  We will assess the situation at that time to determine whether further extension or changes to the policies and guidelines are required.  As a reminder, these policies include a focus on maintaining social distancing, sheltering in home, entry to Lundquist facilities by only essential personnel for the required period and continued adherence to personal hygiene guidelines.
