Caring Well. Staying Well. COVID-19 Operating Plan | Summer 2021

8 CaringWell. StayingWell. While developing this COVID-19 operating plan, we have sought wise counsel frommedical professionals and public health experts, but most importantly, our planning teams have spent time in prayer seeking wisdom from above. This comprehensive plan reflects guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Ohio Governor’s office and its Responsible Restart plan for higher education, and our local Greene County Public Health department. We also convened a team of Cedarville University faculty and staff experts who are advising us on health and safety best practices. We will remain flexible and responsive, ready to adapt our plans and protocols as necessary. Final decisions will come from the President’s Cabinet, unless mandated by local, state, or federal authorities.

An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present. COVID-19 is an extremely contagious disease that can lead to severe illness and death. By engaging in the on-campus community of Cedarville University and related activities, we voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19. We acknowledge that we will be obligated to comply with the CaringWell. StayingWell. COVID-19 Operating Plan, its protocols, and its processes in the event of suspected or confirmed cases of COVID-19 on campus. This response may include testing, quarantine, removal from campus, contact tracing, and/or other such measures that the University, its trustees, employees, and contractors deem appropriate.
