All faculty, staff, students and campus visitors are expected to be in full compliance fully with the policies, protocols and guidelines outlined below. Failure to do so may result in refusal of entry to the campus facilities or disciplinary action.

Social Distancing: This refers to the physical distance maintained between individuals. Keeping space between you and others is one of the best tools we have to avoid being exposed to the COVID-19 virus and slowing its spread. Physical distance should be maintained at all times, even without visible symptoms, in order to ensure maximum safety campus-wide. While on campus you  are expected to adhere to the following protocols:

• Face masks must be worn when outside of your personal workspace.
• Always keep a distance of at least 6 feet (approximately 2 arms’ length) from other people.
• Avoid congested areas and large crowds.

Hand Washing: All hands should be washed often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after you have been blowing your nose, coughing, sneezing, touching your face or in a high traffic environment. If soap and water are not available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Apply the product evenly to your hands and rub them together until they are completely dry. SJPI will supply hand sanitizer in dispensers placed in high-traffic areas on campus.

Respiratory Hygiene: Individuals must cover their mouths and noses and cough or sneeze into a tissue or a bent elbow, discarding the used tissue in a trash and performing proper hand hygiene.
