General updates for faculty and staff on Return to Campus and Dalhousie’s ongoing response to COVID-19, including planning for spring/summer and fall terms, weather events and travel.

An update for students on our ongoing planning for the spring/summer and fall terms.

Nova Scotia Public Health has informed Dalhousie University of a confirmed COVID-19 case among our student community living off-campus in Halifax. The student is self-isolating as required.

The Nova Scotia provincial government is strongly recommending that all post-secondary students who arrive in Nova Scotia from outside Atlantic Canada on or after Jan. 4 get one COVID-19 test on either day 6, 7 or 8 of their 14-day self-isolation period.

Anyone travelling to Nova Scotia from New Brunswick after Saturday, January 9 at 8 a.m., must now complete a 14-day self-isolation period upon arrival in Nova Scotia.

A message for international students about our institutional plan to welcome international students to Canada, explaining the approach and ensuring you're aware of the supports available to you.

Yesterday, Dalhousie learned of a positive COVID-19 case in our residence community in Halifax. They are now in self-isolation as per our approved COVID-19 residence support plan.
