Johns Hopkins University envisions campus operations being "substantially back to normal" this fall and plans to welcome students, faculty, and staff back for a broad resumption of in-person classes and activities, with necessary public health safeguards in place, university leaders said today.
Given recent increases in COVID-19 vaccine availability and distribution, the university intends for vaccination to be a critical component to its campus safety plan—all students who plan to be on campus in the fall will be required to be vaccinated or have a religious or health exemption; faculty and staff are also strongly urged to be vaccinated before returning to campus.
