COVID-19 Health & Safety

UMBC’s Public Health Dashboard was updated with new data on October 7. The dashboard provides timely data about the prevalence of COVID-19 within our main campus, based on UMBC’s on-campus testing and reported results from off-campus testing among UMBC faculty, staff, and students who are approved to be on campus this fall.

Updated CDC Information on COVID-19

Please review this fact sheet from the CDC regarding how to protect yourself and others from COVID-19.

The CDC has updated its webpage on “how COVID-19 is spread.” This site helps to explain respiratory droplets and the spread of the disease. Stay educated and informed to help keep yourself and others safe and healthy. Let’s finish the semester strong, UMBC!
