Auburn University is carefully monitoring the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and taking bold and swift actions to flatten the curve of the rate of infection while maintaining central services to support education and critical research.

Risk Management and Safety’s response is based on the guidance of Auburn experts and of local, state, and federal officials, and follows key principles:

• RMS’s actions will be guided by considerations for health and safety of faculty, staff, students, and neighbors.
• Guidance about health and safety made by RMS in the context of COVID-19 will be evidence-based and data-driven to the extent possible.

Please see our information below as well as the University’s COVID-19 Information Page for more information.
