Drake University continues to closely monitor the COVID-19 outbreak with careful attention to the impact it could have on campus. There are no suspected cases yet within the Des Moines metropolitan area, and Drake remains open and operational at this time. University leaders are planning for several possible contingency scenarios and will take appropriate action to ensure the health and safety of our campus community. Timely updates will be shared, when appropriate and if circumstances on campus or around the city change.
