As for everyone in our communities, the top recommendation is to stay home if you are sick. Additionally, the Office of Research has issued specific guidance for researchers, which we recommend reviewing. Steps to take include:

• Identify emergency personnel and ensure they know what to do in the event of suspended operations
• Remind lab personnel of your communication plan or create one if not in place
• Identify priorities in case of restricted access
• Ensure remote access to files, data, servers, etc
• Prioritize experiments
• Plan for remote proposal submission
• Check travel restrictions before making travel plans
