Acquisition and Distribution of Returning to Yale Kits

    Yale has established a plan to ensure that all students, faculty, researchers, and staff are equipped with the necessary masks/face coverings, hand sanitizers, and disinfectant wipes as they return on campus. 

    Returning to Yale Kit Contents

    Yale will provide a Returning to Yale kit containing three reusable cloth masks, one 8-ounce bottle of Purell, and disinfectant wipes for your personal use. 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.
