UPDATE TO COVID+ REPORTING
Hello, as the spring term draws to a close, we wanted to make you aware of the updated guidance from the CDC and MA Dept of Public Health. The following message will be posted to our internal and external websites, and on August 30, 2024 we will discontinue use of the studentcovid@ email for Covid+ notifications. Starting September 2024 if students disclose their status, you can refer them to the website guidance. Employees should continue to reach out to Jennifer Chavez to report their Covid+ status, as that process hasn't changed. Have a wonderful summer!
RESPIRATORY VIRUS GUIDANCE
Each year, respiratory viruses are responsible for millions of illnesses and thousands of hospitalizations and deaths in the United States. In addition to the virus that causes COVID-19, there are many other types of respiratory viruses, including flu and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). The good news is there are actions you can take to help protect yourself and others from health risks caused by respiratory viruses.
As part of the guidance, the CDC and the MA Dept of Public Health provides active recommendations on core prevention steps and strategies:
-
Staying to protect people against serious illness, hospitalization, and death. This includes flu, COVID-19, and RSV if eligible.
-
Practicing good hygiene by covering coughs and sneezes, washing or sanitizing hands often, and cleaning frequently touched surfaces.
-
Taking steps for cleaner air, such as bringing in more fresh outside air, purifying indoor air, or gathering outdoors.
When people get sick with a respiratoryvirus, the updated guidance recommends that they stay home and away from others. For people withCOVID-19 and influenza, treatment is available and can lessen symptoms and lower the risk of severe illness. The recommendations suggest returning to normal activities when, for at least 24 hours, symptoms are improving overall, and if a fever was present, it has been gone without use of a fever-reducing medication.*
For at least the first 5 days after you resume normal activities, take these extra precautions:
-
Avoid crowded indoor spaces. Wear a mask anytime you are indoors around other people
-
Wash your hands often with soap and warm water. If soap and water are not available, use hand sanitizer containing at least 60% alcohol.
-
Avoid spending time with people who are at
Follow for full guidelines from the MA Dept of Public Health
Additionally, all health Profession students are subject to the following policy
