As COVID-19 continues to impact each one of us, here are some consolidated resources for student and community members. These were transcribed from the A&D COVID-19 Resources guide.
Follow CDC preventative measures: Wash your hands for 20 seconds with soap and water or hand sanitizer (60% or more alcohol). Avoid touching your face. Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily. COVID-19 can be transmitted even if you are young and not experiencing symptoms. Please work to protect the vulnerable population by practicing self-quarantine.
