UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - 2019冠状病毒病大流行已进入第四个年头, the federal government has lifted the national Public Health Emergency and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has shifted from an emergency public health posture to recommending personal health precautions. 就像大流行开始时一样, 十大正规赌博平台大全将继续遵循疾病预防控制中心对COVID-19的指导, and university officials urge all members of the Penn State community to take recommended preventative steps to keep themselves and others healthy.
“导致COVID-19的SARS-CoV-2病毒仍在传播, and we will continue to see ups and downs in the number of infections and transmission rates, 但我们已经克服了在这场大流行早期面临的许多挑战,” said Kelly Wolgast, 副教学教授兼外联部副院长 & 罗斯和卡罗尔·奈斯护理学院的专业发展, 谁领导了学校的COVID-19运营控制中心(COCC)三年. “负担得起的测试很容易获得, we have safe and effective vaccines and boosters at nearly every pharmacy and health care provider, 有一些有效的治疗方法, and we know that masking when symptomatic and taking every day personal health and hygiene precautions effectively slow the spread of COVID-19. 有了这些工具和知识, 我们已经能够安全地回到一起，恢复正常的生活.”
而COCC则在6月30日之后停止运营, 十大正规赌博平台大全将继续为学生提供支持和资源, 教师和工作人员预防和恢复COVID-19, 但也有一些重要的变化需要社区注意.
如果你感觉不舒服或检测呈阳性
“有一件事没有改变, 而且很可能永远不会, 如果你生病了，指导是呆在家里远离他人吗,” said Wolgast. “This is the single most important factor in slowing the spread of COVID-19 and all other infectious diseases.”

Individuals who continue to experience symptoms after day 5 should remain in isolation until they are fever free for at least 24 hours and their symptoms are improving. 10天后仍有症状者应就医.
