NORTH MANCHESTER – Manchester University is planning to open fully for the fall 2021 semester, according to MU President Dave McFadden.
“While we understand that the pandemic is not over, the increasing availability of COVID-19 vaccines gives us reason to believe that we can return to mostly normal operations by the time classes resume in August,” McFadden wrote in an email to students, faculty and staff Monday. “We strongly encourage everyone who will learn or work on either Manchester campus to receive the COVID-19 vaccination when it is their turn. The more people who are vaccinated, the less likely we will contract the virus, suffer serious symptoms or spread it to others. The more people who are vaccinated, the safer we all will be and the sooner we can return to the activities and time together that we have sorely missed. As we have for more than a year, we will continue to follow the science and recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That may mean we keep following, for a time, certain guidelines such as wearing masks, avoiding crowds or disinfecting our physical spaces.”
