If There is a Disease Outbreak:
Prioritize Immediate Safety
- Stay informed – Stay updated on the latest information from the college and the health authorities regarding the disease outbreak.
- Practice good hygiene – Wash your hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are unavailable, use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol content. Avoid touching your face, especially your eyes, nose, and mouth.
- Wear a mask – Follow the mask-wearing guidelines set by health authorities. Wear and handle masks properly, covering your nose and mouth completely.
- Maintain physical distance – Practice distancing by keeping at least 6 feet (2 meters) from others, especially in a crowded area. Avoid close contact with people who are sick, and if you feel unwell, stay home.
- Avoid large gatherings – Minimize your participation in large gatherings or events where maintaining physical distance may be challenging; consider virtual alternatives or smaller gatherings with a limited number of people.
