COVID-19

 

Completed daily health check required for entry to recreation facilities

Beginning Jan. 11, anyone accessing the recreation facilities, including for academic classes, will need to show a green status from their Daily Health Report to proceed through the access control point at all recreation facilities. Those who do not have a smart device can visit the RPAC Welcome Center or facility front desk to complete the health check on an iPad, which will include a temperature check before entry to the facility is allowed. This is an additional way the university can continue to promote health and safety and fight the spread of COVID-19 in our community. Please remember a mask covering the nose, mouth and chin is required at all times in the facilities except when actively swimming.
