COVID-19 Update: Planning for Fall 2021

Dear Carolina Community,

We want to thank you for your continued commitment to keeping the Carolina community safe and healthy during the Spring semester. The safety precautions we have taken would not have worked without your commitment and participation. Thank you.

We are encouraged by the increasing pace of the vaccine rollout and decreasing trend in COVID-19 case counts locally. The latest projections are that vaccines will be widely available by late spring. We continue to urge you to get vaccinated as soon as you can – having as many people vaccinated as quickly as possible is our best defense against the virus.
