Southeast Missouri State University and its Emergency Response Team is distributing Protect the Nest kits to all students, faculty and staff to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. The kits for faculty and staff will be available for pick-up at the Student Recreation Center through Friday, Aug. 17.

As a reminder, University departments are asked to send one representative to retrieve a supply of kits for their department. Recreation Services will have a list of University departments and the number of employees in the department to reference.

The Protect the Nest kit includes two cloth face coverings and guidance for how to complete a daily symptom check. With everyones efforts and dedication, we can slow the spread of COVID-19 and help keep our community healthy.
