The University of Iowa is taking deliberate steps to reduce the risk of exposure to the COVID-19 virus.
Campus leadership will use the following metrics to determine if they need to alter policies, procedures, or scheduling.
- New cases

The UI will also continue to rely on guidance from the Board of Regents, State of Iowa; the Iowa and Johnson County departments of public health (IDPH, JCPH).
