current crown outbreaks have been linked in the universities of Washington, California and Mississippi to the fraternity, and experts say it is an example of what is to come, as many schools are opened for classes in person as of August. At least 136 of fraternity residents and other nine students from the University of Washington in Seattle have been positive for COVID-19, as in what officials called the offers of 10 July “Greek Row outbreak”. “The lessons for the students, as they watch their return on campus this fall,” said Dr. Geoffrey Gottlieb, President of the Advisory Council of the University for infectious diseases. Officials at the University of California, Berkeley, said on Wednesday that a link to “about” Spike of 47 new COVID-19 cases among the students of the fraternities and sororities of the school. The University is currently planning for limited person learning open to 6,500 students back to education on campus in August. But this epidemic could change that. “At the rate we see increasing cases, it is even harder to imagine our university community in order to bring the imagination,” said university officials. And another from the University of Mississippi in Oxford, Miss., Officials more than 160 cities COVID-19 cases among the students out of the campus fraternity rush party in June. “There is a substantial risk of similar outbreaks in other universities and colleges occur,” says David Hamer, a Boston University professor of global health and medicine and a specialist in infectious diseases at the university campus team reopening. “There are many schools who are planning a multi-layered strategy to try to limit outbreaks and identifying them either early or basically try and prevent them from happening. If we succeed him and other health professionals is another story.” The hope that plans for testing and finding contacts will mitigate the spread, but definitely the campus reopening depends students to fundamental changes to college life to buy. “We can take steps to reduce the risk and reducing the spread and hopefully to prevent epidemics large, but we will have cases like this pop-up,” says Watson crystal, a researcher at the Johns Hopkins Center for health security and execute a plan to reopen the universities authors. “College when we bring people personally do not look the same as in the past.

A database compiled by Chronicle of Higher Education shows that most universities continue (57%) of people plan Learning fall, and 29% is a mixture of online lessons and keep track of the person. Only 9% of universities, including Harvard and 23 schools in the California State University system, is transferred entirely to distance learning. Many schools do not have to decide how they would treat the next academic year, but whatever you choose, many people are sure to be unhappy with the plans. As new outbreaks in many parts of the country, and as the youngest of positive tests occur wonders for COVID-19, some faculty and staff when it is safe to return to your personal statement. But many students whose schools have opted for distance education frustrated that they will pay the same tuition for a fraction of the college experience. And many universities, a persistent economic crisis, once again include their financial incentives campus life. Experts point to recent outbreaks universities as proof that even the best plans will not prevent the spread of the virus on campus when the fall semester began, and some say they are proof that colleges should not reopen. “The scientific evidence tells us that COVID-19 is a dangerous disease, and it is one that does not understand very well yet,” says Shweta Bansal, Associate Professor of Biology at Georgetown University who studies the ecology of infectious diseases. “We do not know, in particular, to understand who is at risk of serious consequences. And the virus does not appreciate our value for learning and knowledge, and yet it is in tune with our economic university distress.” The changes in campus before the outbreak at the University of Washington, some of fraternity houses in the summer had limited their homes to live for 50% capacity, with about 1,000 students in 25 of fraternity houses. But Gottlieb said, these measures were not enough, when students were not wearing masks to keep their distance from each other and to wash their hands regularly. All fraternity residents are now asked to self-quarantine in their frat houses. “My feeling is you return all the students to some sense of normalcy, I ask that all of us guidelines to follow public health, so that only we can do,” Gottlieb said in a statement. Officials at UC Berkeley, said that most of the new cases COVID-19 fraternities and sororities connected “by a number of recent parties come.” “In general, these infections are directly social events in which students did not follow basic security measures, such as physical removal, face wear coatings Limit size, and gather outside,” wrote university officials. It is not only fraternities. A bar near Michigan State University in East Lansing, Mich., Up 107 COVID-19 cases from which, down 29 All was associated infected, were the recently launched football players in 16 years to 28. And several universities saw back campus for practice outbreaks. While some security changes may require the university campus – the addition of a line between the library desks, limiting the number of students assigned to each dorm, require masks in the classroom, only takeaway serve in cafeterias that-have little or no control how students behave in group living situations and when socializing. It has long been difficult for universities to help prevent harmful behaviors that bully of binge drinking. To detect outbreaks and prevent them from spreading on campus, Hamer, at Boston University, says need to test, test students in dormitories and fraternity live the faculty and staff students, often on their level of risk for potentially several times Colleges Week. And they need to implement the search for contacts and isolate those who are infected, he says. To reduce congestion, Boston University, on the person learning in August is the reopening is to eat the limitation in place rooms in the restaurant, which divides the students into groups to rotate between the person and learning away, the prohibition of overnight guests in the bathroom create campus limit and ask students schedule at one time the number of students in a common dormitory. Watson says interior where people close together large classrooms, dorms and locker-profits gained particular attention. In reopening guide for universities, it recommended Watson that universities with 50 students in person classes cover dining redesign rooms to close ready dormitories that the outbreaks site are, and look at fraternities and sororities in the event of an outbreak or to follow include failure health policy. “I’ll be optimistic and say that college students know these things can be, and to a large extent, follow the rules, but it will be to everyone on campus to make sure that his life still safe college,” he says. “And if not it is, then you may turn it off. “Hamer says it is the most difficult, a” super-spreader “event to stop, where an infected person a party at home or go to a bar he visited, for example, and leads to many other infected. at Boston University, Hamer says officials plan students to name ambassadors that promote social distance, wear masks their colleagues and avoid large gatherings. Many other universities have asked students, contracts follow safety policies sign an agreement. to refrain from the University of Pennsylvania, for example, this agreement contains an “agreement with the host organization or participation in events, parties or other social events off campus.” Georgetown, where he teaches Bansal deals online all classes this semester, but allows about 2,000 students are on campus, where they live in dormitories with no roommate and have a certain attend classes in person. If the recent outbreaks teach students more cautious and be responsible, he says, “that a victory.” But Bansal says that schools have a responsibility to keep students and the share of security personnel. “It seems that many universities invite students with the promise of college experience on campus back, quote-unquote, and then the whole plan expectations move students to be safe,” he says. “At the heart of this experience is to socialize, and, unfortunately, there is no safe way to universities at the time, this experience has to offer.”
