COVID-19: Faculty of Education Updates

The Faculty of Education follows the directives outlined in UBC’s safety plans:

1. Common Areas and Public Realm
2. Field Trip and Field Research Activities
4. Learning Spaces
5. Office/Administrative Areas
6. Study Spaces
7. Workshops and Research Laboratories

Please refer to the safety plans for guidance specific to these areas.

The intent of the document is to provide best-practices guidance to prevent the spread of communicable diseases at The University of British Columbia. The guide is not meant to replace existing communicable disease exposure control plans in workplaces that require them. Instead, it provides general guidance on how Public Health, UBC and individuals work together to prevent the spread of communicable disease. It is intended to educate members of the campus community on such measures so that we all better understand the layers of protection.

Please refer to the UBC Communicable Disease Prevention Plan for more information.

An updated version of the COVID-19 Return-to-Campus Guidelines was released today to reflect evolving public health guidance including updated BCCDC guidance for the post-secondary sector, and the January 2022 letter from Dr. Henry regarding the prioritization of on-campus instruction.

COVID-19 Return-to-Campus Guidelines are hosted on government’s public website.
Guidance and recommendations from the Provincial Health Officer are available online at the COVID-19 Provincial Support and Information website.
If you require advice regarding a potential COVID-19 case, please contact your local Medical Health Officer.
WorkSafeBC guidance is available on communicable disease prevention plans.
