呼吸系统疾病指引

With the foundation of our extraordinarily high community vaccination rate, everyone is doing their part and making the smart choices that allow us to be safely together on campus.

We all have a responsibility to reduce the spread of COVID-19. The simple actions you take each day help protect yourself and care for the RWU community.

3月1日, 2024, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) updated its guidance on respiratory viruses in response to the decreasing risk that COVID-19 poses to the population.  This updated guidance includes strategies to protect people at highest risk of getting seriously ill and provides recommendations for people with common viral illnesses, 包括COVID-19, 流感, 和RSV.  Roger Williams University has updated its protocols to align with this new guidance.

强烈建议接种疫苗

We strongly recommend completing the primary series of Covid-19 vaccination and remaining up to date on vaccination and boosters to prevent serious illness.

Students are encouraged (but not required) to provide their Covid vaccination records as they provide and update other vaccination records to Health Services.

测试

该大学将不提供新冠病毒的快速检测. 作为准备工作, all students and employees are encouraged to obtain several home tests in advance in case they are needed. Students who are symptomatic can still make an appointment in Health Services to be tested.

Students who are asymptomatic and know they have had a close contact should monitor for symptoms and use their own rapid tests.  All employee testing must be done at home or through your medical provider.

屏蔽

With the federal and state emergency orders no longer in effect, RWU返回掩码可选, except in Health Services where masks are required for students presenting with Covid-like symptoms. Students are encouraged to use a proper mask if they have symptoms for Covid and must wear a mask once testing positive.

Each of us should respect another individual's decision to wear a mask. 除了, 而我们的可选口罩政策仍然有效, we ask that each of us be considerate and cooperate when community members request mask wearing in an office, 教室或共用生活区. 

经常洗手

Wash your hands with soap and warm water for 20 seconds frequently, 以及当你接触到常用的表面时. This prevents the spread of germs on surfaces and mitigates exposure to viruses.
