We now face a rise in new COVID-19 cases in North Texas and across our country fueled by the COVID-19 delta variant. Now, I am asking Comets to take the following steps to protect yourselves, your fellow Comets, our families, our friends and members of our larger North Texas community. Get a COVID-19 vaccine, and register your vaccination status through our voluntary vaccine reporting form. However, we strongly encourage all Comets to get vaccinated and wear face coverings as recommended by the CDC. As always, the latest information on our guidance and resources for campus health and safety can be found on our Comets United webpage.
