Everyone at York University has a duty to reduce the spread of respiratory viruses on campus. Your actions will protect yourself, loved ones, and the York community at large.
In general, you can protect yourself and others by:
- Staying up-to-date with your vaccinations.
- It is recommended everyone consider wearing a high quality, well-fitting mask in crowded indoor public settings with poor ventilation, especially if you or people around you are at higher risk (such as seniors, those with a weak immune system, or young children).
- Stay home if you are sick or have symptoms of illness, even if they are mild.
- Wash or sanitize your hands often.
- Cover your cough or sneeze with your elbow or a tissue.
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces.
- Choose well ventilated spaces when possible.
