Indiana University (“IU”) is concerned for the health and well-being of its community community. The nature of the COVID-19 disease is such that actions taken by you affect not only your well-being, but also those of every other person you interact with or every person who uses the same spaces you use. IU has collaborated with medical experts and public health professionals to develop protocols and enhanced health and safety measures designed to minimize the risk of COVID-19 infections.
