SCHEV press release announcing the Commonwealth’s COVID-19 Education Work Group:
OTN has announced the dates for their annual Summit, which will be held online this year across two weeks, each Monday through Thursday between June 15-25, 2020. Registration is free and open to any interested participant this year, details at https://open.umn.edu/otn/open-textbook-network-summit/
Reynolds and MECC draft recommendations for continued operations are posted at http://library.vccs.edu/forum/forumdisplay.php?fid=119 in case those examples are helpful. Feel free to share your own!
CDC guidelines now say that surfaces are not the main way the virus is transmitted, rather it is person to person.
From VIVA: In normal times, VIVA members are required to provide free and open access to all VIVA resources for all users of their libraries, including members of the public. During the pandemic, it is recognized that institutions may need to limit access to their own students, faculty, and staff. If you have any questions about this, please write to viva@gmu.edu.

Several colleges are investigating wearable face shields for employees, or installing plexiglass shielding at service desk areas.
