Return to SU
In accordance with guidance from Governor Larry Hogan and recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Salisbury University has announced new safety protocols for employees as it enters the first phase of its “Return to Campus” plan leading to the fall semester.
Beginning Monday, critical employees with job duties that cannot be completed off campus were required to check in at COVID-19 symptom screening stations before reporting to their worksites.
Those not identified as having symptoms will be cleared to continue to work. Those with symptoms will be directed to contact their supervisors and provided with information regarding self-confinement and seeking medical care.
Currently, fewer than 300 critical employees are cleared to be on SU’s campus, divided among multiple shifts. Most work from home.
Campus buildings remain closed to the public. All in-person summer events have been canceled. For information, call 410-543-6030 or visit salisbury.edu/coronavirus.
