Novel (New) Coronavirus Information
Ask a Question - safety@aquinas.edu
Background
The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is a respiratory illness caused by SARS-CoV-2. It spreads through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs, sneezes or talks. Those droplets can then land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or could be inhaled into the lungs. COVID-19 may be spread by people who are not showing symptoms.
Our highest priority is the health and safety of our campus community and the broader community. We are monitoring this evolving public health situation and are taking immediate and specific steps to reduce the spread of COVID-19. As a campus, we must live our Dominican pillar of community by thinking of others, protecting others and doing all that we can to care for others.
