- Physical distancing is recommended, especially if food is served or available.
- 建议使用口罩,但可选。
- CLC的众多缓解策略仍然存在。
校园测试:The Shield Testing Center is open Mondays (12-3 pm) and Thursdays (8:30-11:30 am) through June 30 in Room C106, Grayslake Campus. Links for other testing options and vaccination options in the community can be found on theCLC COVID-19 updates webpage.
