UDel has decided to suspend classes for the rest of the week and
start spring break next week (two weeks earlier). Classes will be
offered online starring March 23rd.<br>
<br>
The campus remains open and research is, for the most part, to
proceed as normal until further notice. The NanoFab, like other
shared facilities, is tasked with continuing operations as long as
the University stays open.<br>
<br>
In addition to encouraging improved personal hygiene an instituting
more frequent wiping down of the gowning area benches, door handles,
etc. and shared items in the lab, we are asking the users to put
gloves on before they enter the gowning room. The 2nd pair of gloves
is put on before entering the cleanroom.

<div> Our response is quite similar - focus upon the shared
spaces, improve hygiene, raise awareness. <br>

<div dir="ltr">Dear all,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Many of you may have been asked for - or are already
thinking about - plans to manage the situation in our
shared facilities in light of the COVID-19 (corona virus)
situation. I'm curious about what, if anything, you have
implemented or planned so far...</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Here at the Univ of Michigan LNF, we have not made any
big changes at this point but here are the steps that we
have taken or planned:</div>
<div>- we've added daily cleaning of all shared surfaces
accessed when people have no gloves (computer room,
conference room etc) and provided antibacterial wipes in
these areas;<br>
</div>
<div>- we are planning to add the ability to wash hands (or
access hand sanitizer) at the entrances to our lab spaces
and more strictly enforcing the "first put gloves on
before doing anything else" rule;</div>
<div>- we are developing protocols that would avoid the
current practice of cleanroom garment bags being
potentially passed on from one user to the next (cleanroom
garments are never shared and sent to the laundry every
week, and face masks, bouffant caps and gloves are
disposed of at every lab exit).</div>
<div>
<div>- we are supporting staff telecommuting for the (few)
duties that can be done remotely. This could be expanded
if needed but would start impacting the level of lab
operations and services provided to our community;</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any thoughts or other ideas/concerns?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks</div>
