I want to thank all of you for your understanding of and attention to the COVID-19-related processes and procedures implemented over this past year. 

Together we have been able to establish procedures to bring many of you back to Campus to relaunch your RCA activities, while following national and state guidance to limit exposure and focus on the health and safety of our campus community.  Currently, we have about 800 individuals approved for On-Campus RCA activities and some 400 of them coming to campus on a regular basis in any given week. 

We highly appreciate the overall compliance with campus-wide training, testing and daily symptom tracking requirements and our combined record of maintaining safety while pursuing our RCA activities has been exemplary. 

Based on our current assessment of the situation in Maryland and on our Campus, we have reached the decision to transition into Stage 3 On-Campus RCA Mode effective Monday, March 29, 2021. The main difference is an increase in density in the RCA facilities from currently 235 sq.ft. per person to 150 sq.ft. per person.  More details are provided on this page and below.

However, since the pandemic is not over we need to continue our vigilance and continue to adhere to testing, symptom tracking, mask wearing, physical distancing, and other key regulations.
