The university says this is part of its ongoing monitoring of positive COVID-19 rates on campus, as well as active community cases and local hospital capacity.<\/p>\n
Additional information on these temporary adjustments is available on Liberty’s COVID-19 Response website.<\/p>\n
The modifications are intended to “slow the spread of the virus and maintain a safe and healthy campus environment while the institution continues to act responsibly as a community partner in battling the pandemic,” according to a release from the university.<\/p>\n
“We are taking the necessary steps and actions to lighten the burden to our medical service providers, the local hospital resources, and to do our part to keep our community safe,” said Keith Anderson, executive director of Liberty’s Student Health Center and Wellness Initiatives. “We understand the severity of the pandemic and desire to act swiftly to ensure the health and safety of our campus. Through collective collaboration with our on-campus partners, Central Virginia Family Physicians (CVFP), and our Liberty University Health & Wellness professionals, we are attending to our asymptomatic and symptomatic campus members as quickly and thoroughly as possible.”<\/p>\n
