Explanation:
PHYSICAL DISTANCING
Maintaining space between yourself and others is a best practice and is one of the best tools to avoid exposure to the COVID-19 virus. People can spread the virus without being sick or knowing they are sick, so it is important to maintain social distance from others whenever possible. Physical distancing is required on USM's main campus and in satellite locations to limit exposure to the COVID-19 virus and slow its spread.
Everyone on campus should follow these physical distancing practices:
Stay at least 3 feet from others (about an arms’ length) at all times.
All workstations should be oriented to a minimum of 3 feet apart in all directions.
Meetings should take place online instead of a conference room. If you must meet in person, wipe down surfaces, chairs and equipment after each use, and maintain physical distancing of at least 3 feet.
Minimize the use of common breakrooms, coffee stations or refrigerators to store food.
Rearrange furniture in common areas to maintain physical distancing.
Minimize non-essential movement around campus. If duties require movement to other areas on campus, practice physical distancing and follow all health and safety guidelines for those locations.
Do not gather in groups larger than the size allowable by the current federal, state, and local executive orders.
Stay out of crowded places and avoid mass gatherings.
Handshaking and other forms of physical contact are discouraged.
All members of the USM community should enforce physical distancing protocols in common areas and places where individuals are likely to interact. Supervisors will be expected to ensure employees self-enforce physical distancing protocols in all areas.
FACE COVERINGS
The use of face coverings, including homemade masks, scarfs, bandanas or handkerchiefs, helps to minimize risks to the wearer and to those around them. Face coverings are not a substitute for physical distancing. Subject to change in guidance from medical professionals and the CDC, face coverings must be worn universally indoors for all students, faculty, staff, and visitors, regardless of vaccination status, unless an individual is in an isolated space.
It is the responsibility of each individual to comply with this requirement. Face coverings must cover the nose and mouth, as directed below. Reasonable accommodations for those who are unable to medically tolerate a face covering to meet this requirement may be requested through direct supervisors.
Face coverings are REQUIRED universally indoors, regardless of vaccination status.
Face coverings are NOT required to be worn by individuals who are:
Alone in their residence hall room.
In public outdoor settings where physical distancing requirements are met.
In personal vehicles.
