1/ Thx to all who've helped keep campus safe this week. We're encouraged so many are following requirements on campus. However, we're concerned w/ reports & videos circulating about off-campus activities. Behavior this weekend could make or break our ability to remain on campus.

2/ We currently have 40 cases of COVID-19 reported in our campus community. Many of these have been tied to gatherings both on-campus and off-campus. We again encourage you to avoid non-compliant gatherings, wear masks and stay distanced.

3/ We have 24 students in Helaman Halls who were exposed to COVID-19 at a gathering where physical distancing wasn't maintained. These students were instructed to quarantine. We'll continue to ask students to quarantine if they attend gatherings where they may have been exposed.

4/ Non-compliance issues will continue to be addressed through local areas of campus and the Dean of Students Office.

Some have asked if there is a case count that would be the threshold at which we would need to move back to remote learning.

5/ There's not a specific threshold, but rather a variety of factors that would impact the ability to maintain an on-campus experience. This includes disease prevalence on & off campus, local hospital capacity and BYU's capacity to isolate or quarantine those living on-campus.

6/ As we move into this long weekend, please be wise and follow all safety requirements on campus, and follow all city and county mandates off campus. Please compassionately encourage your friends and roommates to do the same.

7/ We condemn any kind of shaming or bullying surrounding compliance or non-compliance. Let's work through this together, with compassion. We can still maintain an on-campus experience, if we can all do our part.
