Our response
Washington University has been closely monitoring the COVID-19 epidemic since its emergence. The university’s Crisis Management Team is activated and meets regularly to determine the appropriate proactive measures to take in order to mitigate this evolving public health threat, following guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the U.S. Department of State, our infectious disease experts at the School of Medicine, and local and state public health agencies. School of Medicine leadership and WashU Medicine Marketing & Communications also are in regular communication and coordinating response activities with our Barnes-Jewish Hospital and BJC HealthCare partners.
The School of Medicine is taking the following preparation measures:
Is coordinating patient-care efforts with local and state health officials and agencies to ensure effective preparation and response.
Has developed detailed protocols for clinical surveillance and treatment — in coordination with local health officials and in accordance with CDC guidelines — and communicated those protocols to our health care providers.
Is providing guidance and policies to our faculty, staff and students regarding on-campus safety and travel.
