Operative words

Our campuses and the UC Office of the President have made alternative arrangements and provisions to enable students and employees to reduce the risk of community spread by minimizing face-to-face interactions, reducing commuting and travel, and enabling social distancing. On Monday, March 16, seven Bay Area counties announced "shelter-in-place" orders, and the UC Office of the President in Oakland is closed at least until April 7. This week, the UC Board of Regents meeting will also be held as a teleconference.... I'd like to thank everyone in the UC community who has helped us transition to working and studying remotely.
