In order to comply with the new Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines for high-volume mail services, we have temporarily suspended most mail operations. We are currently implementing appropriate safety procedures and are obtaining recommended protective equipment for our mailroom staff. There will be limited delivery of payroll and other critical interoffice mail.

These steps are being taken as a precautionary measure. There is no evidence of contamination at any Columbia campus facility.

The campus community should continue to exercise caution in handling their own mail. For guidelines see the October 16th email on Mail and Package Handling and Security available on the Columbia Homepage.

We thank you for your patience as we seek to best provide protection for our employees and the entire Columbia community.
