Harvard Divinity School continues to closely monitor the course of the COVID-19 pandemic and the progress of the vaccination and booster effort. As always, the health and safety of our students, faculty, and staff are of paramount importance.
Latest News: COVID Update–2022 Spring Semester
- Recommended masking is in place. In light of recent increases in positive COVID-19 cases at HDS, we recommend that everyone wear masks while around others in indoor spaces. There are some indications that we are passing a peak, and we hope that we can return to optional masking soon.
- COVID-19 testing is no longer required on a regular basis. Anyone with symptoms or known exposure should continue to test. Although regular testing will no longer be mandatory, we encourage testing when circumstances warrant, using Harvard’s Color testing program or rapid antigen tests that are now widely available. Test results can inform your behaviors as you consider visiting with friends and loved ones, coming to campus for work or class, attending events, or traveling. Keep in mind that many members of our community, along with family and friends, are vulnerable to complications from COVID.
