Bowling Green State University

February 2022

As the spring semester continues, there has been a decrease in COVID-19 cases on our campuses, as outlined in our COVID-19 dashboard. This decline is consistent with cases across Wood and Erie counties. BGSU will continue to monitor trends and work closely with public health officials.

Next week is Sexual Health Awareness Week at BGSU. The Wellness Connection is hosting free events and educational programs throughout the week to educate and raise awareness on sexual health and wellness.

As always, thank you for all you do to help keep our campuses safe and healthy. Together, let's continue to prioritize community well-being and belonging to ensure that Falcons do not struggle alone.

BGSU COVID-19 UPDATES

Although COVID-19 cases are decreasing locally, it is important to stay home if you are feeling sick with any cold, flu or COVID-like symptoms. Even if you test negative for COVID, staying home is essential to slowing the spread of illnesses.
The U.S. federal government now offers four free COVID-19 at-home rapid tests to every U.S. household. We encourage everyone to order these free tests. BGSU also offers free appointment and at-home tests.
Visit the BGSU COVID-19 response website for the most up-to-date University protocols, vaccine plans, available testing, FAQs and more. Our COVID-19 dashboard is updated every Wednesday. If you have questions, call the COVID-19 Response Hotline or email health@bgsu.edu.
