It’s unfair and unrealistic to expect busy students to navigate the nuances of pandemic safety and responsibility without clear direction from UC Berkeley.

All three COVID-19 vaccines authorized for use in the United States are now approved for “mix and match” booster doses following an announcement from the FDA.

Since the start of the fall semester, testing across campus has nearly halved, according to the campus Coronavirus Dashboard. For undergraduates, testing is less than half of what it was in August.

COVID-19 cases at UC Berkeley and in the city of Berkeley have decreased according to data from the University Health Services Dashboard.

The Tang Center and the Disabled Students’ Program, or DSP, are offering primarily remote services despite campus resuming in-person activities.

Drop-in flu vaccine clinics will be available for UC Berkeley students starting Oct. 6. 

UC Berkeley’s mask mandates have served as a defense against COVID-19, but some students have found that not everyone is following them.

As UC Berkeley returns to in-person instruction this semester, Gonzalez and other students have expressed concerns about large-scale events — both on- and off-campus — that often generate crowds of students and potentially pose unsafe conditions amid the pandemic.

In light of the return to campus, University Health Services, or UHS, and the ASUC are offering various mental health resources to promote student wellness as the COVID-19 pandemic persists.

University Health Services created a “Contact Tracing and Close Exposures” webpage detailing campus guidelines and contact tracing policies for students.
