Led by top doctors at the IU School of Medicine, the team meets daily to continually assess how the virus is spreading, the effectiveness of our efforts at controlling it, and allocation of resources. They use their medical expertise and a variety of ongoing metrics to shape decisions regarding campus operations in a way that prioritizes health and safety.
