Current Health Threats

澳门金沙棋牌游戏致力于为所有学生提供一个安全健康的环境, 员工, and members of the public who use its facilities, 无论我们面临的是季节性流感还是COVID-19等新型传染病.

学院正在采取措施帮助校园和社区避免疾病，包括

• 鼓励公众利用远程方式获得大学服务，但在必要时提供面对面的互动，同时采取一切适当的卫生预防措施.
• Employing alternative instructional methods with online and hybrid options.
• College services are provided under conditions that exercise all precautions.
• 该学院在战略位置设置了洗手液和口罩分发器. 客房部工作人员正在使用抗病毒清洁剂，并对客流量大的区域给予额外的注意.

COVID-19(冠状病毒病2019)是一种由新型冠状病毒引起的呼吸道疾病. 每个人都可以采取一些步骤来避免接触导致它的病毒并防止感染. 这些步骤和我们在面对任何传染病时应该采取的步骤是一样的.

• Get vaccinated. 通过当地卫生部门，任何5岁及以上的人都可以免费获得疫苗和增强剂, 药店, and community clinics. NCDHHS provides a vaccine locator on its 网站.
• 当你和别人在一起或在公共场合时，用面罩遮住嘴和鼻子. 研究表明，COVID-19可能由没有表现出症状的人传播. 据估计，多达一半的感染者是无症状的. You could spread COVID-19 to others even if you do not feel sick.
• Avoid close contact with other people. Even if others do not appear to be sick, they could share the virus with you.
• Use good handwashing techniques and do so often, especially after going to the bathroom, before eating, and after blowing your nose, 咳嗽, 或打喷嚏. Wash with soap and water, 擦洗至少20秒(唱两遍生日快乐歌的时间). 如果没有肥皂和水，使用含有至少60%酒精的洗手液.

• Clean and disinfect surfaces and objects that are touched frequently, such as door handles, light switches, counters and desktops, 键盘, 和老鼠, using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
• 咳嗽或打喷嚏时用纸巾捂住，然后把纸巾扔进垃圾桶.
• 出现COVID-19(或季节性流感)症状的人应使用医用级口罩。.
• Stay home if you are sick, except to get medical care. 如果您怀疑自己患有COVID-19(有症状并曾前往社区传播的受影响国家或地区，或与前往这些国家或地区或已知患有该疾病的人有过接触), go to your doctor’s office or emergency department. Call them before you go to alert them of your suspicions and condition.
• Practice other good habits to maintain your health. Get plenty of sleep, be physically active, manage your stress, drink plenty of fluids, and eat nutritious food.
• Make sure you are getting information from trusted sources. 有很多谣言、虚假的承诺和错误的报道四处流传. Please don’t allow yourself to be tricked.

3月10日, 2020年，北卡罗来纳州州长罗伊·库珀根据COVID-19造成的卫生紧急情况宣布本州进入紧急状态.

这是在确认多例呼吸道疾病病例之后发生的. Cases are spread across the state, including in Wayne County.

“紧急状态”并不意味着你的健康面临迫在眉睫的威胁，也不意味着我们处于戒严令之下. It is not a reason to panic.

A declaration allows the State of North Carolina to requisition resources, to seek federal assistance, and to protect consumers from price gouging and deceptive trade practices, among other steps necessary to respond to this health concern.

Wayne Community College’s duty includes protecting its students, 教师, staff and visitors; educating the college community to take steps to prevent infection, be prepared to self-support, and understand any necessary containment measures; communicating with all involved parties 通过out the event; and supporting the continuation of as many college operations and services as possible if it is safe to do so.

该学院遵循北卡罗莱纳州卫生与公众服务部和疾病控制与预防中心的指导，以及美国卫生与公众服务部的指导.S. Department of Education recommendations. 它正在与韦恩县卫生部和其他合作机构联系. 它由其大流行病和传染病防范和应对计划指导, Emergency Response Plan, Business Continuity Plan, 传染病和感染控制及人事政策和程序, and other documents, which it regularly reviews and updates.

The college is addressing issues as they arise. 它的流行病应对小组在必要时开会，以确定我们大学社区的最佳行动方案.

As more information and guidance becomes available, it will be shared on this page, 通过电子邮件, and 通过 other avenues.
