The more people an individual interacts with at a gathering and the longer that interaction lasts, the higher the potential risk of becoming infected with and spreading COVID-19. • All members of the University  community may be selected randomly and required to test for COVID-19 on campus with consequences for non-compliance. In addition, testing may be required for some TAMIU  in-person activities, classes, events  or programs. • Limit unnecessary travel. • Maintain cleanliness of shared spaces and common surfaces at home, work, and on campus.
