COVID-19 Response | Cornell University

Skip to main content

Ithaca Campus

It is clear that SARS-CoV-2 is becoming one of many viruses that surrounds us. Even though it is unrealistic to expect that we will be able to eradicate COVID-19 as a disease, given its ease of transmission, there are special precautions that should be taken.

As we look ahead to the start of the fall semester, please take time to review additional information about the university’s evolving response to COVID-19. We ask that students continue to take personal responsibility and to demonstrate COVID-19 etiquette.

As always, please stay home and get tested if you are experiencing symptoms suggestive of COVID-19. All community members are encouraged to get boosted when eligible. The university will continue to provide high-quality masks to those who wish to wear them.
