Luther College has enacted several COVID-19 prevention measures

If you want to visit the Luther College campus, the school says prospective students and their parents, contractors and vendors, lecturers and speakers, and students' families are allowed in most campus buildings, as are alumni and donors by appointment.

Residence halls, dining facilities and Preus Library have additional restrictions. The Book Shop is open to all community members.  The Regents Center is open to community members who have a community pass.

All visitors will be asked to wear a face covering indoors and outdoors while in the presence of others and when physical distancing of six feet or greater cannot be maintained.  Based upon CDC guidance, face masks with vents or filters are not permitted on campus.

Visitors, along with everyone on campus, are now expected to use the health monitoring tool, CampusClear, for symptom self-screening. This free app is available in the Apple App Store and the Google Play App Store. It is also available via web browser at www.campusclear.com.

Luther will inform the community if there are COVID-19 cases on campus by posting messages at www.luther.edu/being-community/protection-protocols/testing at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesdays about the number of active cases among students and employees at Luther. 

Luther College has formed a COVID-19 Response Team.  Members of that group and other Luther leaders will monitor the state of the pandemic in Winneshiek County, neighboring counties, and more broadly within Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin, by looking at data that includes daily new case numbers per 100,000 people in Winneshiek County, positivity test rate in Winneshiek County, daily new cases on campus, occupancy of campus isolation/quarantine spaces and occupancy of critical care beds at Winneshiek Medical Center.
