CSAIL and TIG are carefully monitoring the COVID-19 situation. Due to the impacts of Institute, State, and Federal travel restrictions, most of us are now performing our work from home.

Remote Connectivity

There are many options and tools for CSAIL community members for remote access and collaboration.  Please see:

Building Operations

Since Friday 3/20 MIT Shipping / Receiving has been holding all CSAIL mail and packages down at the loading dock in Stata Center basement (Dreyfoos Tower).

Important/sensitive mail/packages should now be shipped home or wherever lab members are working. Other non important packages should be held off on ordering for now.

TIG / MIT will not be able to redirect mail/packages to your homes that have already been delivered to the lab.

Building access

If you have a critical reason or serious emergency to access the building the following form must be completed: https://ist.mit.edu/campus-safety/request-access

Health

MIT has provided hand sanitizer stations throughout campus. TIG is providing additional hand sanitizer stations around our space. Conference rooms in CSAIL space also now have a supply of sanitizing supplies (wipes, etc.) for your use in wiping down tables and other surfaces.

Be sure to rigorously observe the Centers For Disease Control's guidelines for avoiding COVID-19 infection. Notably:

• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
• Stay home when you are sick.
• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
