In recent weeks, COVID-19 has been top-of-mind for students, faculty, staff, businesses, and community members. Universities across the county, including U-M, have moved to online courses to minimize the potential spread of the coronavirus. Events have been canceled, public K-12 schools in Michigan temporarily closed, restaurants have moved to carryout only, and many businesses have had to temporarily close.
The rapidly evolving public health measures being put in place have raised many questions surrounding the pandemic and its impact. College students are wondering how to safely communicate with friends, faculty are curious about the constantly evolving landscape of the virus, and parents and community members want advice on best practices to protect loved ones.
Recognizing the need for information, U-M experts have shared important updates on various topics regarding COVID-19, in the videos on this playlist:
