From the City of Burlington:

February 25, 2021

Today, Mayor Miro Weinberger released the following statement:

“UVM has made huge efforts to keep its students, staff, and our community safe during the pandemic. Throughout, UVM also has been in close communication with the City, and has committed to step up its efforts even further if needed. I’m appreciative that UVM is making good on that commitment today by moving from once-weekly to twice-weekly testing for all students, and also implementing other measures designed to identify positive cases and close contacts even sooner. I am grateful to the thousands of UVM and Champlain College students whose exceptional individual efforts and sacrifices are helping protect the Burlington community, and urge everyone to continue that work.”
