新型冠状病毒肺炎:夏季学期更新

2022年5月17日

亲爱的bet365中文大学大家庭:

As we move into this summer semester, we wanted to share a brief overview of how we will approach 新型冠状病毒肺炎 treatment and safety protocols in the months ahead here on our Berrien Springs campus.

The overall approach will be to begin decentralizing certain aspects of our 新型冠状病毒肺炎 management to have our approach to 新型冠状病毒肺炎 managed similarly to how other illnesses, 比如季节性流感, 在我们的社区中被接触过吗. The areas affected will include case management, academics and residence life. 当我们做这些修改时, it’s important that our processes continue to be guided by current CDC/MDHHS case management guidelines and local transmission data.

在我们目前的情况下, with increasing 新型冠状病毒肺炎 cases in some parts of the United States, it continues to be essential that each one of us can and must assume personal responsibility and accountability.

校园个案管理

• 隔离/检疫指导方针—As case guidelines adjust to match transmission risks, individuals should continue to seek the most up-to-date guidance directly from the 密歇根州卫生部 & 人类服务部(卫生署). The campus will be expected to follow these guidelines without immediate direction from the University’s 新型冠状病毒肺炎 Team. 其他 than the specific guidelines provided by MDHHS, individuals on campus will be strongly encouraged to stay home whenever sick to help keep our community as safe and healthy as possible.
• Changes to case management will include the following:
  • 报告—The campus will continue to be required to report 新型冠状病毒肺炎 positive tests, 相关症状, 和/或曝光. To facilitate a smooth transition between centralized and decentralized case management, our campus will no longer use #CampusClear as the reporting tool. 校园将使用在线， google的形式 that will be submitted to 学生生活 or Human Resources as appropriate. Individuals will need to access the form using their Andrews username and password. The primary intent of this reporting will be for our University to be able to monitor on-campus 新型冠状病毒肺炎 transmission to help inform and adapt mitigation protocols when needed.
    • 报告 these 新型冠状病毒肺炎 exposures will not result in automatic contact with the individual by the 新型冠状病毒肺炎, 学生生活 or Human Resources teams. Instead, individuals reporting are expected to follow the most up-to-date MDHHS guidelines. 也, faculty or staff requiring assistance should contact Human Resources, residence hall students should contact the residence hall dean on duty and community students should contact the 学生生活 office.
  • 接触者追踪—Individuals testing positive will be expected to personally notify their own close contacts of the exposure. 疾控中心提供了 资源 on how you can identify close contacts and how to personally talk with them about their exposure when needed.
  • 额外的支持—Our 新型冠状病毒肺炎 Team will continue to remain available for additional support/unique questions, even though they will not be actively managing campus cases day-to-day as the campus is expected to self-manage, 如上所述.
    • The best way to reach out is by email: covid19@bet365中文.edu.
• 测试用品. Off-campus testing options can be found through the MDHHS. 另外, a small quantity of 新型冠状病毒肺炎 testing supplies will be maintained on campus for unique circumstances, including symptomatic residence hall students without access to a vehicle.
• 网站. 继续咨询 bet365中文.edu/go/changingworld 浏览最新的新型冠状病毒肺炎资讯.
  • The website will continue to provide a University Dashboard, which will be updated periodically. 

教室设置

• Initial 新型冠状病毒肺炎 testing/screening for students and faculty will not be required for the summer 2022 semester.
• iVue will no longer be used to designate a student’s cleared/not cleared status to attend classes.
• 在需要的时候, teachers will work directly with students unable to attend classes to determine remote learning options and absences.

居住生活

• Minimal isolation spaces for positive cases will be maintained for the summer.
• Residence hall students should coordinate isolation needs directly with their residence hall deans.

其他 大学的协议, such as travel or masking (optional for all), will remain in place for the summer semester. As a reminder, there are currently no 新型冠状病毒肺炎 restrictions for guests or events on-campus.

最重要的是, we continue to be committed to understanding and responding to the risks presented by the 新型冠状病毒肺炎 pandemic which may change or possibly increase. 如果发生这种情况, bet365中文大学 can and will carefully increase 新型冠状病毒肺炎 mitigation steps to help ensure health and safety for our campus.

Thank you for your incredible work and continued commitment as bet365中文大学 and each one of you have responded to the risks presented by the 新型冠状病毒肺炎 pandemic over the last two years.

诚挚地,
