Corona Virus Update

UMass Lowell Health Services and Environmental and Emergency Management are actively monitoring the rapidly evolving coronavirus (Covid 19) situation. The World Health Organization has deemed this a health emergency of international concern.  

Recognizing that information changes rapidly, please visit the Mass. Department of Public Health Coronavirus page for the most up-to-date information.  

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) continues to describe the immediate risk to the American public as low and recommends everyday preventive actions to stop the spread of germs which also includes the widespread influenza virus. The Federal government instituted new travel restrictions for persons returning to the US from China on 2/2/2020. Current cases in the US have been persons who traveled from Hubei province or who were close household contacts of infected persons returning from there. There has been no general community spread of the illness in the US. 

  • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. 
  • Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available. 
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands. 
  • Avoid close contact with people who are sick. 
  • Stay home when you are sick. 
  • Remain at home until you are fever free for 24 hours without using fever reducing medications. 
  • Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue or sleeve, then throw the tissue in the trash. 
  • Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces. Standard cleaning and disinfectant products are effective.  

Persons who have fever, cough, and shortness of breath and who have traveled from China within the past 14 days should remain in their residence and contact their local health care provider immediately.  Persons without symptoms who have traveled from China in the last 14 days should closely monitor their health status and follow the above directions if they develop symptoms. They do not require isolation or testing at this time.  

If you have questions, please consider reaching out to staff at the Wellness Center, wellness_center@uml.edu, who are ready, willing and able to discuss the most up to date information and guidance.
