What Virus?

The protocols for the coronavirus are disappearing. Davis may be having heat problems - see previous posting - but it's not much worried about the pandemic. From the Davis Enterprise:

On Monday, UC Davis Chancellor Gary S. May announced a number of changes to the campus’ COVID-19 protocols, which will go into effect the last week of June to remain in place throughout summer. “We know the pandemic is constantly evolving and that means our protocols will evolve as well,” May said. On June 24, UC Davis will end its biweekly COVID-19 testing requirement. Free, asymptomatic testing will still be available for members of the UC Davis community through the 2022 calendar year, though getting tested will be voluntary...

Also on June 24, students will no longer be required to complete a daily symptom survey before accessing campus facilities. Employees, including student employees, will still be required to complete the survey before arriving at work. The changes on campus come as the citywide Healthy Davis Together testing program comes to an end on June 30.

“COVID-19 will be in our lives for the foreseeable future, including new subvariants, but we now have the accumulated knowledge and many more tools to protect ourselves and those around us,” May said. “We have shown the nation what a remarkable and resilient community we are. I’m looking forward to continuing UC Davis’ strong partnership with the city and county in new ways as we emerge from the pandemic.”
