Public Health guidance and University of Waterloo operations may have changed. For the most up-to-date information, please visit our COVID-19 frequently asked questions.
Earlier today, the Province of Ontario introduced tighter restrictions for three parts of the province to help limit the spread of COVID-19.
The new tighter restrictions apply to Toronto, Ottawa and Peel. With a record-high of cases of COVID-19 reported by the province today, however, I want to take this opportunity to be clear about the University’s message to our entire community:
Please follow government advice and don’t travel outside of your home unless it is essential.
As Ontario grapples with increased numbers of COVID-19 cases, we are taking steps to increase transparency for our campus community.
Starting October 1, 2020, the University of Waterloo will post information provided to us by public health units on positive cases of COVID-19 amongst students and employees who attended one of our campuses.
We’re sharing some extra information with you today in follow-up to the President’s email sent yesterday. Each resident is a part of your residence community and you play a role in keeping others safe.
The University is discouraging travel throughout fall term, including during fall and December breaks.
