May 19, 2023

VISITOR POLICY

The Institute campus is open for all faculty, members, staff and visitors who are invited by a member of our community.  Visitors are expected to follow the CDC and NJ Department of Health Guidelines for individuals who test positive for Covid-19.

CAMPUS COMMUNITY

COVID-19 VACCINE MANDATE LIFTED

The Institute strongly recommends that those living and working on campus stay up-to-date with all CDC recommended COVID-19 vaccinations and boosters then eligible.  We no longer require proof of the vaccine series and booster.  The vaccine mandate that was endorsed in 2021 is no longer in effect.

ISOLATION STILL REQUIRED FOR POSITIVE COVID-19 CASES

Individuals who test positive for COVID-19 are no longer required to complete the reporting form. However, individuals are required to follow CDC guidelines and self-isolate for 5 days. If symptoms are improving after 5 days and are then symptom free for 24 hours, you may return to campus as long as you wear a tight fitting masks for an additional 5 days.

FACE COVERINGS

Face coverings remain optional on campus. Individual office holders may continue to follow their own mask policy for those entering their workspace. We are a respectful and inclusive campus and expect consideration for others.
