For details, see What to Expect When You are Approved to Return to Campus page. Researchers will receive everything in the standard Kit, including an additional 50 disposable masks.
Returning to Yale Kit Distribution Plan
Options for the distribution of masks and cleaners can be tailored to departments and their community member needs. Lead Administrators (LAs) have the choice to order items in bulk or to allow their communities to pick up their own kits at one of several depots. In many cases, items can be ordered through Yale’s Printing and Publishing Services website.
