Dear Faculty and Staff<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what\u2019s going on with COVID-19 cases on campus this week.<\/p>\n

This link will play a 3.5 minute video<\/a> about this week\u2019s COVID-19 numbers, and what we think is coming our way.<\/p>\n

In short, numbers went down this week from 18 to 11 student cases, but we still worry for the coming weeks. The previous 18 cases were the \u201cend of the bloom\u201d for several large pods, while the 11 are almost all cases in new pods. That means we expect those cases to spread to roommates, significant others, and others within their pods.<\/p>\n

We still have no evidence that any cases have spread in classrooms and other areas at Truman where we follow the guidelines. The advice from that guidance is still good: distance, masks, and limiting contact with people outside an intentional pod.<\/p>\n

No layer of the \u201cswiss cheese\u201d is perfect, but taken together, we can slow or even stop the spread of COVID-19.<\/p>\n

Finally, some people at Truman have already gotten the COVID-19 vaccine, particularly those who work in health-related areas. We have no definitive date for when the rest of us will be able to get it, but we do want to recommend that you get the vaccine as soon as you are able.<\/p>\n

Here is the updated case count chart.<\/p>\n
