Covid Update

Dear MTD Students and Faculty,

COVID cases have continued to increase today within the Department of Music, Theatre, and Dance.  The RIC Department of Health Services has notified me that all MTD students are required to test DAILY beginning tomorrow (Thursday, April 28th)  through Tuesday, May 3rd before attending any activities on campus.  THIS INCLUDES ALL RIC IN-PERSON CLASSES, NOT JUST MTD CLASSES. THIS ALSO INCLUDES REHEARSALS, MEETINGS, AND ACTIVITIES OF ANY KIND.  If you have already been testing daily please continue to do so.

PLEASE REMEMBER TO WEAR A MASK AT ALL TIMES WHEN IN THE NAZARIAN CENTER.  THIS IS NOT A RECOMMENDATION, IT IS A REQUIREMENT.

The RIC Asymptomatic Testing Site will open at 9:00 AM tomorrow (unfortunately it is not feasible to open the site any earlier in the day).  

IF YOU ARE SYMPOTMATIC PLEASE CALL RIC HEALTH SERVICES (401-456-8055) starting at 8:00 AM to schedule an appointment.  PLESE DO NOT ATTEND ANY CAMPUS ACTIVITIES IF YOU ARE SYMPTOMATIC.

Please remember to follow all COVID mitigation protocols and please feel free to contact either me or RIC Health Services if you have any questions or concerns

Thanks so much for your cooperation and please stay safe!
