UNE's response to COVID-19
As we have learned over the course of the pandemic, we cannot completely eradicate instances of the virus in our local community or our campuses. Our goal is to avoid transmission among known positive cases and to prevent severe illness and hospitalization. We are grateful to have reached a stage where vaccines are widely available, boosters are being developed and improved, and people have access to therapeutics to treat COVID-19-related illnesses. As has been done through the pandemic, the situation will be monitored and policies modified as needed. You can find more details at une.edu/onward.
Employees who test positive should report their status to their supervisor and isolate for five days following their positive test. Email Human Resources at HR-COVID19Questions@une.edu with any questions.
