The university is restricting travel for all faculty, staff and students to the immediate local areas of Mesa, Montrose, Delta, Garfield, Pitkin, Rio Blanco, Gunnison, Ouray and Eagle Counties between the dates of August 17 and November 24. During this time, leaving the area is strongly discouraged. Travel outside these designated local areas may put the campus community at risk. Limited circumstances may exist where the university will approve essential travel that meets established COVID protocols.
If you come into contact with a known COVID-positive individual or someone who is symptomatic with COVID-like symptoms while traveling, you will need to monitor your health and quarantine when returning home. You will need to stay in your place of residence for 14 days from the date of exposure. If you have no known exposure to COVID-19 while traveling, you may resume your regular work/school schedule and monitor your health, including daily self-checking of symptoms using the Scout web tool.
