Dear Chancellors,
As you know, 随着欧米克隆变异病毒的传播,COVID-19病例在全国范围内继续迅速增加. The emergence of this new and fast-moving variant, 再加上学生往返校园,以及假期聚会的盛行, 在新年伊始,我们的校园将面临一系列独特的公共卫生挑战.
根据与大学领导和公共卫生专家的协商, 我要求你们每个人设计并实施一项计划,为一月份重返校园减轻对公共健康的影响, responds to the unique circumstances facing your campus, and maintains our teaching and research operations. 此计划应包含测试、隔离和重新测试模型,如 UC Health Coordinating Committee’s guidance for returning students.
这可能需要学校在学期开始时使用远程教学,以便学生在返回校园时完成适当的测试协议. 鉴于当地条件和整个大学校园运作的差异, 这种远程教学时间的长短可能因校园而异.
In line with public health best practices, 你的返校计划还应该强调校园预防措施的重要性, 特别是在学生还处于测试阶段的初始返校阶段. 这应该包括对戴口罩保持警惕,对面对面的聚会采取负责任的态度. Large, congregant events, particularly indoors, 应该避免在冬季学期或春季学期的开始几周.
证据很清楚,接种增强剂对于保护自己和周围的人免受欧米克隆和其他变种的侵害至关重要. Therefore, 我还要求你们每个人向你们的校园社区传达助推器的重要性, especially at this stage of the pandemic. 应鼓励符合条件的返乡学生在返校前获得激励. Under existing UC policy,学生,教师和工作人员需要保持他们的疫苗接种状态最新. The policy mandates COVID-19 boosters for those who are eligible. 有关增强资格的信息可从疾病控制中心获得.
Thank you for your continued leadership during these challenging times, and for your advice, counsel, and input as we plan for 2022. Brenda and I wish you and your families a happy holiday season.
Sincerely,
Michael
Michael V. Drake, M.D.
