Read the Weekly COVID-19 Update from October 27, 2020.

The latest dashboard report is available here, historical trends here, and the latest trends report from Siouxland District Health is here. Our operation level this week will continue to remain in YELLOW for all academic elements, and in ORANGE for all non-academic elements.

We continue to see an encouraging difference when masks are worn. Mask wearing has definitely contributed to the reduction we have seen in students being sent to quarantine, as well as our overall number of positive cases. Keep it up, and thank you to everyone doing their part.

Don’t forget – the Test Iowa site remains available to all students at no charge. Visit here for information on scheduling appointments. Please don’t hesitate to use this service if you are symptomatic or concerned you may have been exposed.

As always:

• Mask up, Mustangs
• Wash your hands frequently
• Refrain from large groups and physically distance when possible
• Rest and eat well
• Make good decisions – especially if you plan to celebrate the spooky season this weekend
• Study hard and finish the semester strong – it’s almost November!

Be well, Morningside.
