University update regarding the novel w88 casino games

With the novel w88 casino games (COVID-19) continuing to make headlines, it is natural to be concerned about the University community. Dr. Cheryl Hug-English, the University’s Medical Director of Student Health, and I are jointly providing this update. We understand and share your concerns. Our aim is to inform you about the latest on the novel w88 casino games and to reassure you as to the measures being taken to protect our University community.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) continues to believe that the risk of acquiring this virus in the United States is low. While increasing cases are being reported worldwide, it is important to emphasize there are currently no known cases of the novel w88 casino games on the University campus or in the state of Nevada.

While the CDC indicates that “at this time, this virus is not currently spreading in the community in the United States,” the CDC also must prepare people for the reality that “more cases are likely to be identified in the coming days, including more cases in the U.S.”

The w88 casino games anticipates and is prepared for this possibility, aligning and prioritizing health resources and collaborating with our health experts and agency partners. Plans and communications are at the ready to help protect students, faculty and staff.

Protective measures and precautions already in place

The w88 casino games of Nevada, Reno, remains vigilant, alert, aware and prepared.

• The w88 casino games’s Issues Management Team, comprised of principal, responsible w88 casino games decision makers, have met and will continue to closely monitor the situation to be ready to take appropriate action to protect the w88 casino games community.
• To date, three w88 casino games communications have kept students, faculty and staff updated.
• Over the past month, the expertise of the Nevada State Public w88 casino games Laboratory (NSPHL), located on campus, has been added to our collaborative w88 casino games and information effort. NSPHL serves as Nevada’s centralized lab, representing a first line of defense in rapid detection of a public w88 casino games threat.
• We continue to monitor the situation closely and to follow the guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
• We are working closely with the Office of International Students and Scholars (OISS), w88 casino games Studies Abroad Consortium (USAC) and Student Services to ensure the health and safety of all students, faculty and staff.

The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus.

• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
• Follow CDC’s recommendations for using a facemask.
  • CDC does not recommend that people who are well wear a facemask to protect themselves from respiratory diseases, including COVID-19.
  • Facemasks should be used by people who show symptoms of COVID-19 to help prevent the spread of the disease to others. The use of facemasks is also crucial for w88 casino games workers and people who are taking care of someone in close settings (at home or in a w88 casino games care facility).

Maintaining perspective, empathy and respect

While there is understandable anxiety about this new w88 casino games, it is important to maintain perspective on the current status of the novel w88 casino games in the United States, which has resulted in no fatalities.In comparison, CDC reports over 19 million cases of flu illness and 10,000 fatalities from the flu virus already this season.Simple health practices will help prevent these and other respiratory illnesses.

Finally, while the w88 casino games leadership and community health experts continue to focus on protecting our state, our students, faculty, staff, and our community, it’s important to keep in mind the worldwide victims of this virus and the impact on their friends and family all around us. Further, it’s a timely reminder to avoid stereotyping or stigmatizing any individuals or groups, and treat all people with respect and empathy.

We will continue to monitor this situation, and our medical staff is staying up to date with guidelines and recommendations to help promote the w88 casino games and safety of our campus.
