Dear KAUST community,
The CMT and the EOC established in response to the COVID-19 crisis continue to take action and wish to provide the following updates.
Update frequency
We no longer plan to provide daily updates from now on. We will provide updates only when there are critical COVID-19-related matters to report to the community.
KAUST cases
The current number of positive cases identified on campus remains at 10. We are keeping in touch with and monitoring the progress of the three positive KAUST cases recently transferred to nominated facilities in Jeddah.
Need to talk? You’ve got options.
Our lives have changed during the pandemic, and it can feel a little overwhelming at times. The wellness and emotional support teams from across KAUST have come together to launch an array of mental health and wellness resources to help our community face these uncertain times. Call the Emotional Support Helpline at +966 54 470 0804 and find out about additional online resources available here.
