Microfabrication Cleanroom Operation during Post-COVID Phase 2 Reopening

Our cleanroom is open for all research activities, but as per Phase 2 return to research guideline sent by SNR VP of Research, the following are the steps we have to follow to ensure the safety of everyone on campus:

1. All researchers have to have mandatory negative COVID test results prior to returning to research on campus. Forwarding a negative COVID test is required.

2. We will allow only specific researchers are working within a certain square ft area. All researchers have to make reservations (even for using a simple small measuring instrument) at least 2 days before the experiments. Depending on the traffic at a certain time at a specific location, reservations (through LabAgenda) will be approved or disapproved accordingly. If disapproved, reserve for other time slots or days. No work is allowed without approval.

3. We will temperature check on all individuals before entering the cleanroom and keep the record.

4. All researchers will have to sanitize hands before entering the cleanroom and wear face masks in addition to wearing the cleanroom gown in the cleanroom at all times.
