COVID-19 Guidance to the URI Research Community

  • Research Operations Update – August 30, 2021. 
     
    We are currently in Phase 5 of a five phase plan developed in March 2020 and revised in December 2020. Phase 5 allows all types of research as long as university wide requirements are followed, including wearing masks indoors. Guidance on university requirements are available here. Please review the tabs above for additional guidance.
     
    As transmission rates are rising throughout the region, we encourage the research community to do the following:
    • Get a COVID-19 vaccination if you have not already done so. This is the single best way to stop the COVID resurgence.
    • If you are unvaccinated, get routine asymptomatic coronavirus testing. This is a helpful way to protect yourself and those around you because asymptomatic individuals can unknowingly spread the coronavirus to others.
    • Continue to monitor communications from URI regarding changes to guidance or requirements.
