<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Just a quick message to provide you with an update about the current FSU COVID-19-related restrictions on in-person human research activities: effective today, April 26,
2021, these restrictions have been further relaxed. In brief, in-person research activities in which ALL human research participants and study staff taking part in those activities have completed a full COVID-19 vaccination will no longer require other COVID-19
precautions, such as social distancing; certain conditions apply. Other COVID-19-related restrictions remain in effect.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
