Please note that the forecast for the next few days calls for extremely cold temperatures. Take precautions to keep yourself safe. The Virginia Department of Emergency Management urges everyone to:

  • Bring pets inside
  • Be prepared to take care of yourself in the case of widespread power outages
  • Have a battery powered or hand-crank radio and extra batteries on hand.
  • Avoid overexertion when shoveling snow, working or recreating outside, no matter your age or physical condition.
  • Always wear proper cold-weather apparel: gloves/mittens, hats, scarves and snow boots. Dress in several layers of loose-fitting clothing and cover your face and mouth if possible.
  • Be aware of the wind chill factor
  • Stay dry. If you become wet, head indoors and change wet clothing immediately.
  • Limit your and/or children's time outdoors.
  • Do not ignore shivering. It's an important first sign that the body is losing heat. Persistent shivering means it's time to go back inside.
  • Check on others who may not be able to care for themselves

Over the weekend, there were about seven reported cases of norovirus-like illness on campus. According to the Virginia Department of Health, this is well within the expected and usual range for this region of Virginia at this time of year. Cleaning staff are continuing to respond to reports with stepped-up efforts.

Please continue to practice good hygiene, including washing your hands thoroughly and often, and using hand sanitizer. There are other viruses circulating around the region, as is common this time of year. Longwood officials continue to monitor the situation, and will communicate updates as necessary.
