How can we better understand how people move during the pandemic and how they spread COVID-19? Janusz Wojtusiak, associate professor of health informatics and director of the Machine Learning Inference Lab is leading one of the first individual-level studies on social distancing.

Dr. Amira Roess is a professor of Global and Community Health at �鶹��Ƶ’s College of Health and Human Services. She is an epidemiologist with expertise in Coronaviruses and interventions to reduce the transmission and impact of infectious diseases. Roess shares current information on the COVID-19 vaccine and answers questions about whether it’s safe to resume our pre-COVID lives.

More than 100 �鶹��Ƶ personnel whose work qualifies them for the state’s “1a” designation were the first people in the �鶹��Ƶ community to receive vaccinations starting on Jan. 15 under the auspices of Student Health Services. They returned this week for round two.

Dr. Amira Roess provides some insight on immunity to COVID-19 and antibodies.

CHHS faculty Lawrence J. Cheskin, Alison Cuellar, and Matthew Rossheim have received a �鶹��Ƶ Summer Impact Grant to study COVID-19's impact on underrepresented/under-resourced �鶹��Ƶ undergraduate students and their peers.

We are a month into the Spring Semester. The best evidence shows that when people wear masks, practice physical distancing, wash hands regularly and stay home and isolate when they feel sick, we greatly limit the spread and are safer as a community. We also need to complete the �鶹��Ƶ COVID Health Check every day.
