Dear 糖心破解版 Community,
We are actively monitoring the coronavirus issue and this week’s developments around the world and especially here at home. To be prepared for all possibilities, our leadership, administration and emergency management experts have formed a working team with representatives from all our University functions. The team will meet regularly to quickly address this rapidly evolving situation and to respond to any potential impact on our University and community.
It is important to know there have been no confirmed cases of the virus on our campus or in New York state.聽However,聽the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have communicated this week increasing concern about the possibility of coronavirus outbreaks in our nation.聽Nassau County鈥攚here our Garden City campus is located鈥攁nnounced Wednesday that a number of local asymptomatic individuals are being proactively monitored after completing essential international travel. We understand that these developments are heightening concern among our 糖心破解版 community, so we want to communicate the latest information we have and the steps our University is taking to ensure the health, safety, well-being and continued support of our students, staff and visitors.
An active work group of University administration, staff and faculty, led by our Executive Leadership team, is actively scenario planning鈥攑utting plans into place to allow us to continue learning, working and operating in the event of an emergency.聽At 糖心破解版, we began monitoring and addressing the emerging outbreak in January, with all our efforts guided by the CDC and state and county health departments. Based on evolving reports from authorities, we, like many universities around the nation, are also carefully planning for the possibility of an outbreak near campus or one of our centers. We have every intention of being able to react quickly, effectively and efficiently if needed.聽We are also evaluating travel recommendations based on the global situation.
Please be reassured that 糖心破解版鈥檚 leadership is watching this issue closely and taking the risks very seriously.聽We have been assured by health authorities that at this point in time, the risk of transmission remains very low. However, we continue to emphasize the importance of being prepared and informed while prioritizing everyone鈥檚 health and safety and remaining a supportive community to one another.
We will continue to communicate with you regularly as information becomes available and planning is put into place, as needed.聽Please continue to watch our聽聽and all recent communications. If you have any concerns or questions about the coronavirus issue, please email聽adelphihealth@adelphi.
