LU Alert: Emergency Notification: GI Update

As cases of gastrointestinal (GI) complaints decrease, there are a few updates to consider:

Virginia Department of Health has visited campus and found no issues with Liberty Dining. Dining facilities are open based on their normal operating schedule.

Custodial has increased their rounds and methods to contain and disinfect potential virus spread.

All classes continue to operate on normal schedule, if you are experiencing illness, be sure to engage with your professor.

The Student Health Center is open Monday-Thursday 8-6 pm and Friday 8-5 pm and has sample kits available. Additionally, hydration packs are available for each on-campus student through their hall leadership.

If you have any GI complaints or emergencies, please call 434-592-7641 or 434-592-3911.

What you can do to help protect our community:

•       Wash hands with soap and water (hand sanitizers have proven less effective against killing the virus).
•       Clean all surfaces using products that say virucidal.
•       If you have recently been sick replace your toothbrush.

What you can do if you start experiencing symptoms:

•       Please maintain hydration. Drink substances like Gatorade, Pedialyte, or water.
