And what is a \u201csafe distance\u201d?<\/strong><\/p>\n The best way to limit the spread of COVID-19 or any contagious disease, according to health experts, is to maintain a safe distance from other people. Remaining six feet away from others, wherever possible, can help prevent infections transmitted by an uncovered cough or sneeze and also by touching a contaminated surface. Avoiding large groups in crowded spaces is a scientifically proven way to lower the infection risk and the spread of a virus.<\/p>\n What if I develop flu-like symptoms?<\/strong><\/p>\n Flu symptoms include fever, cough and difficulty breathing. If you develop symptoms consistent with the flu or are concerned that you may have been exposed to COVID-19:<\/p>\n Should I wear a facemask?<\/strong><\/p>\n There is no need to wear a facemask unless you have symptoms of an airborne infectious disease or are in prolonged close contact (about 3 feet) with a contagious person. Outside of these circumstances, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention does not recommend use of a facemask by members of the general public.<\/p>\n What if I see someone whom I suspect has COVID-19?<\/strong><\/p>\n While the vast majority of the infections have occurred in Wuhan, China, we must not stigmatize anyone in our community based on national origin. Someone who has a cough or a fever does not necessarily have coronavirus.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.1″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.1″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.1″ text_font=”Lato||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ custom_padding=”|10px||10px|false|true”] **URGENT** PRESS RELEASE<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n Effective Tuesday, March 17, 2020<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n South Baylo University will be closed until March 31, 2020<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In accordance with the press release issued March 17, 2020 by the Orange County Operational Area Emergency Operations Center (attached) all university facilities will be closed in observance of this notice and the public COVID-19 pandemic.<\/span><\/p>\n At this time the university is rapidly deploying emergency protocols and will continue to serve students in the most effective, safe, and healthy manner possible during this period.<\/span><\/p>\n The Administration and Board of Trustees is confident that all SBU community members; staff, faculty, students and patients, will observe the directives issued by the governmental agencies in order to preserve and protect our families and society.<\/span><\/p>\n Essential workers directly involved with the development and deployment of Distance Education may be called upon to report to work on an as needed basis.<\/span><\/p>\n Any questions regarding this notice or the university\u2019s precautionary measures, please contact the Compliance Officer, Rhiannon Krone, at\u00a0<\/span>rhiannon@southbaylo.edu<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n We will continue to keep all parties apprised of the latest directives and how they impact South Baylo.
