Health & safety resources
If you’re spending time on campus this fall, you’ll see some changes as we work to ensure the continued health and safety of everyone who studies and works at Dalhousie.
- Everyone is expected to maintain a safe physical distance of two metres (or six feet) at all times.
- You’ll find directional arrows and one-way signage in many hallways, stairwells and corridors, and some services will be delivered through a physical barrier (such as a plexiglass divider).
- You’ll be required to wear non-medical masks or face coverings (such as cloth or disposable masks) in indoor common spaces. This includes public spaces like buildings, libraries, dining areas, residences, hallways, stairwells, elevators and common study areas.
- You’ll see our Custodial Services team ensuring frequent cleaning and disinfecting of high-touch surfaces in common building areas, including doorknobs, light switches, handrails, bathrooms and more.
