As COVID-19 continues to surge throughout the state of Arizona, Northern Arizona University (NAU) has instituted a number of measures in an effort to mitigate the spread of the disease. For example, NAU requires masks in all classrooms and academic buildings and other locations where physical distancing is not possible, and strongly encourages there use for outdoor events and gatherings.
Masks are also required in Campus Health Services, at COVID-19 vaccination and testing sites, and on public transportation, including on NAU buses. NAU cloth masks with filters have been delivered to most students, faculty, and staff throughout the state. It also provides masks on request.
NAU is utilizing COVID Watch, an anonymous exposure notification app, to help stop the spread of COVID-19 on campus by using a person’s cell phone.
NAU provides contact tracing for exposure management through an integrated system with Coconino County Health and Human Services. NAU has staff who are jointly appointed to work for Coconino County in order to coordinate contact tracing/exposure management in its campus community.
NAU has also set up designated housing and student support services on campus for any students who require isolation or quarantine. Support for off-campus students will be provided to the extent available.
