As novel coronavirus affects more and more university campuses, a growing number of students, parents and families are looking for advice on how they can keep themselves and others safe—especially if they are living in student housing and practicing social distancing.
This guide provides basic advice on how to avoid becoming infected, and how to help slow or prevent the spread of COVID-19 to others by flattening the curve.
It’s primarily aimed at undergraduate and graduate students living closely with others who are impacted by the novel coronavirus, but the advice is useful to parents and anyone living with others who is trying to do the right thing in the face of an infectious disease outbreak.
