Earlier this week, you received an Email about the current changes to isolation 和 quarantine expectations 和 times.
提醒一下, 我们目前的协议要求至少所有没有完全接种疫苗的员工和学生, or who do not have natural immunity from a previous infection, should test once a month. To monitor compliance with this expectation, 大学将随机选择员工和学生每个月,以帮助确保这是发生的.
We continue to expect every member of our community to abide by our Community Covenant of Care, irrespective of changes to external COVID-19 regulations 和 protocols.
考虑到这一点, 随着我们进入这场受欧米克隆变异影响的全球大流行的关键几周, 这里有一些建议和提醒,包括一些新的建议和提醒,以最大限度地提高我们相互服务的能力:
- 请记住,您应该始终报告阳性测试结果和使用 # CampusClear. With the Omicron variant still strongly impacting our nation, 州和校园, we encourage each one of our students to make the choice to 经常测试, w在这里 self-test kits are available.
- In addition to continuing to 戴上口罩 consistently indoors, regardless of vaccination status, 请确保口罩的厚度至少为两层(bet365中文大学提供的面料COVID-19口罩为两层,符合这一要求)。.
- If you have not done so already, consider transitioning any in-person group gatherings to virtual/online connections for the next few weeks.

- And the perfect seven—remember to do 所有 you can to maintain a strong immune system through the eight natural remedies, which focus on nutrition, exercise, water, sunlight (如果天气多云,一定要去安德瑞森健康中心看看红外线。) temperance, air, rest 和 信任. These healthy measures make a difference.
Fin所有y, let us remember we need each other’s kindness, patience 和 care. 在这个时候,我们整个bet365中文大学社区都特别需要彼此. If you didn’t get a chance to watch a special COVID-19 edition of 提要 yesterday at University Forum, be sure to check it out.
