Staying safe over the holiday break

Update for graduate students

  • As you make your plans for the winter break, please follow government advice on how to stay safe this holiday season.

  • The safest way to spend the holidays is by only celebrating in person with the people you live with and celebrating virtually with everyone else.

  • If you must travel home for the holidays, reduce close contact with others 10 to 14 days before traveling. After the holiday break, do the same before coming back to Waterloo.
