UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. 随着宾夕法尼亚州和全国COVID-19病例和住院人数的上升, 欧博体育官网敦促其社区继续采取健康预防措施并遵循 guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to keep themselves and others healthy.
“为了阻止SARS-CoV2病毒和其他病毒的传播，你能做的最重要的事情就是当你出现症状时呆在家里,” said Dr. Bruce Kraut, senior director of University Health Services. “With all the activities associated with the start of the academic year, 包括成千上万的学生和游客回到我们的校园上课和活动, 我们确实预计我们社区的COVID-19病例数量会增加. While we are prepared for this, 对于我们校园里的每个人来说，监测他们的症状并采取预防措施是至关重要的，如果他们感到不舒服或认为他们已经暴露在病毒中.”
