Health information for the Stanford community

In an email sent to Stanford faculty and staff on Thursday, July 22, Russell Furr and Rich Wittman discuss the recent cases of COVID-19 on campus and Stanford's ongoing monitoring of the COVID-19 variants and public health.

Following public health guidance by Santa Clara and San Mateo counties, Stanford now recommends that face coverings be worn in crowded indoor spaces on campus and requires their use in campus spaces that are open to the public.

A message to the Stanford community details a wide range of planning issues for the fall quarter including vaccination requirements, Health Check, testing, international student arrivals, fall instruction, face coverings, and various facilities on campus.
