Keeping physical space between you and others — commonly referred to as physical or social distancing — is one tool for staying healthy during the COVID-19 crisis and helping to slow the spread of the virus.
NCCU has returned to 100% occupancy in all academic, residential and business spaces.
Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after being in public, coughing, sneezing or touching your face (including putting on or taking off your face covering).
If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer that contains greater than 60% ethanol or 70% isopropanol.
Check out the NCCU Sanitizer Safety Quick Facts to learn more about proper storage and other safety measures with these sanitizers.
Beginning March 7, 2022, NCCU will follow the lead of public health experts and discontinue the requirement for masks indoors on campus with a few key exceptions:
Those who would like to continue wearing a face covering are encouraged to do so. While the number of COVID-19 cases has dropped rapidly, health officials say face covering and vaccinations are an effective way to further reduce the likelihood of becoming infected.
Overall, the CDC recommends wearing the most protective mask that you can, ensuring that the mask fits well and finding one that can be worn consistently. A well-fitting mask should fit snugly against the sides of your face and not have gaps. The CDC also suggests having a mask with a nose wire to help you get a secure fit and prevent air from leaking out of the top of the mask.
All students are required to complete the COVID-19 Daily Health Tracker daily even if they are not coming to campus.
