Common use of COVID Clause in Contracts

COVID. 19 1. Health and Safety - We expect that all members of the UWT Housing community—residents, staff and visitors—act in a manner that demonstrates respect and consideration for those around them, including respect and consideration for the health and safety of all community members. All residents are prohibited from behavior that would create a health or safety hazard within UWT Housing and the University may request or require a resident to leave UWT Housing if their continued presence in the housing community poses a health or safety risk for community members. Residents are required to comply with health and safety laws, orders, ordinances, regulations and health and safety guidance adopted by the University or Residence Life as it relates to public health crises, including COVID. This guidance will evolve as the public health crisis evolves and may include, but is not limited to, social distancing, limitations on gatherings, wearing a face covering, COVID diagnostic and surveillance testing (including before or upon arrival to campus), contact tracing, disinfection protocols, limitations on guests into UWT Housing, and quarantine / isolation requirements (including before or upon arrival to campus). Adherence to health and safety requirements applies to all residents, staff and visitors and extends to all UWT Residence Life of UWT Housing, including Rooms, Apartments, bathrooms, community kitchens, lounges, computer rooms, courtyards, Common Areas, dining facilities and other communal spaces. 2. Quarantine / Isolation / Separation - Residents are required to comply with requests from UWT Residence Life to leave their assigned space within 24 hours due to COVID or other public health emergency and failure to do so is a violation of the Residence Life housing agreements and may subject a resident to emergency removal from their assigned space. Not all UW Housing residential Rooms or halls are appropriate for self-quarantine or self-isolation, for example, and in those situations where a resident is recommended to self-quarantine or self-isolate, residents may not be permitted to continue residing in their residential space and will be provided alternative housing arrangements as needed. Removal from UW Housing to isolate or quarantine does not constitute a termination of a resident’s housing agreement. 3. Consolidation - Residents are required to comply with any consolidation efforts needed on campus due to COVID or other public health emergency, including, but not limited to, the relocation of all or some residents to different rooms within Court 17, alternative housing, etc. Relocation does not constitute a Termination of a resident’s housing agreement.
