自2019年12月30日武汉华南海鲜市场出现不明原因的肺炎疫情以来，疫情变化引发各方关注。截止至2020年1月31日，美国已有5人确诊感染新型冠状病毒。身在异国的我们应该如何进行自我防护呢？ 肯特州立大学在本周二向全校师生发送了一封电子邮件，为大家解答了关于新型冠状病毒的相关问题及预防措施，让我们一起来看一下吧： 亲爱的同学及教职人员， 为保证及时回应有关于2019年新型冠状病毒的公共卫生问题，肯特州立大学正与俄亥俄州卫生部，波塔奇县卫生区及肯特市卫生局密切合作，以求及时获得病毒传播的相关信息。我们也将继续和相关机构合作，确保在病毒侵入临近地区时做好充分准备。 需要强调的是，除非您有近期到中国旅游的经历或是您曾经接触过被新型冠状病毒感染的人群，您被新型冠状病毒感染的可能性是非常低的。如果您近期到过中国，并且有明显的被新型冠状病毒感染的体征（发烧和咳嗽），请你务必在去医生办公室或健康中心就诊前给你的医生或是DeWeese健康中心打电话说明情况。 DeWeese健康中心的电话为：330-672-2322 目前，鉴于公共卫生中心工作人员将新型冠状病毒对校园产生的健康风险定为“低级风险”，我们并不能向公众提供针对新型冠状病毒的特别预防手段。但一些常用于预防流感及普通感冒传播的措施也可以被用于预防新型冠状病毒。 经常用洗手液洗手，在没有水的情况下也可...
