STORRS, CT – In efforts to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19, Jorgensen Center for the Performing Arts will be cancelling seven upcoming performances. “The health and safety of our patrons is our utmost priority as the risk of contracting this virus grows daily,” said Rodney Rock, Director of Jorgensen. “While we regret the need to cancel these events, the decision was an informed one.”
UConn has been working closely with the state Department of Public Health, the state Department of Emergency Management and Homeland Security, the Office of the Governor and the Eastern Highlands Health District. Effective Saturday, March 14, UConn has mandated no events larger than 100 people will be permitted on any campus, until at least April 6. This includes all events, meetings and performances.
“The university’s goal is to dramatically reduce the number of people who are in close contact on our campuses, with their health and well-being in mind,” according to UConn President Tom Katsouleas.
