The school's https://covid.cornell.edu/testing/dashboard/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(0, 101, 152); text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.2s ease 0s; - Covid-19 dashboard was updated late Tuesday afternoon, accounting for the jump in case numbers reported. "Virtually every case of the Omicron variant to date has been found in fully vaccinated students, a portion of whom had also received a booster shot," said Vice President for University Relations Joel Malina in a statement. As of result, the school has decided to shut down its Ithaca, New York, campus, where it has about 25,600 students. The university will move final exams for the semester online, cancel all activities and athletics and close the libraries, President Martha Pollack https://statements.cornell.edu/2021/20211214-LTBmB1-ithaca-alert.cfm" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(0, 101, 152); text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.2s ease 0s; - wrote in a letter to the student body posted Tuesday. Malina said the measures being taken on campus are to "help students who have tested negative to return safely home for the winter break, and in an effort to limit the spread of the Omicron variant to vulnerable populations." "While I want to provide reassurance that, to date, we have not seen severe illness in any of our infected students, we do have a role to play in reducing the spread of the disease in the broader community," Pollack said. https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/14/us/cornell-university-covid-cases/index.html - https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/14/us/cornell-university-covid-cases/index.html ------------- "Facts don't care about your feelings" I'M A UNVAXXED DEVIL so kiss my rebel ass. |
