My mask protects you, and your mask protects me

As the phased return to campus continues, we remind you of three key actions (three Ws) required of every member of the Emory community. These requirements apply to situations in all university buildings and health care facilities, and whether you’re working all day or simply stopping by your desk for a short time. These simple actions are critically important in helping to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and keeping our faculty, staff, trainees and students safe. 

  • Wear a mask: Always wear a mask or face covering when you are on campus. 
  • Wash your hands
  • Watch your distance: Maintain at least 6 feet of distance (about 2 arms’ length) from other people at all times.
