— Researchers are expected to wear a face mask always covering their mouth and nose in the building unless physical distancing is possible. Please respect others’ boundaries by wearing a face mask within 6 feet of other humans.
— If you have been exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19, you have tested positive for COVID-19, or you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, please reschedule your appointment for a later date, as you will not be allowed to enter the building.
We will continue to answer your research questions and other needs via phone, email, Facebook message, or letter as well.
