(7/30更新:文章標題從 7/29 的 “6300個COVID-19確診案例” 修改為 “6600個COVID-19診案例”)

我們都知道美國從今年3月開始爆發COVID-19後,確診人數至今都沒有減少的趨勢。剛開始大流行時美國部分城市還有封城,學生也都改採遠端上課,可是隨著時間增長和政策的改變,最近大學師生又要準備回到校園上課了。

但是在確診人數都還沒趨緩的狀況下,COVID-19也潛入校園!根據紐約時報的報導,目前為止新冠肺炎已經在短時間內已有來自270所美國大學、超過6,600位相關人員確診,並且數字還在快速增加!

現在大部分的學校都還沒開始新的學期,不知道開學後會不會造成更大規模的散播?

這些數據是由New York Times進行整理,有些是大學自己公告消息、有些提供部分數據,但也有數百所大學拒絕回答相關問題。而有提供數據的這些大學,因為涉及師生隱私的關係,並未透漏是哪些人確診COVID-19、何時確診等相關資訊。


校園內的感染風險是否比想像中的還高?

雖然The New York Times統整了各大學確診COVID-19的數據,但很明顯地,實際數據一定不只這樣而已。因為有些大學的規模非常大、有些大學則拒絕提供相關資料,所以很難真正評估風險,即使各間大學很努力做防疫,這樣的破口也已經補不回來了。

因此有些學校如California State University已經決定秋季開始全面改採線上教學;其他如Patriot League和Ivy League則是決定不要舉辦秋季運動會。雖然如此,還是有些學校決定秋季新生歡迎會照常舉行、正常到校上課和舉辦運動會。


運動相關部門是高風險族群

許多初次來到大學的運動員都希望能在今年秋天參加比賽,因此New York Times又針對130所參加 NCAA Division I(美國大學體育聯盟I級)比賽的大學進行調查,發現其中68所大學的運動員、教練和其他相關人員的確診案例多達630例 (如下圖)。

秋季學期即將到來,美國各大學都在制定上課方式,無論是線上教學、到校上課,還是兩者各半,都需要經過不斷的測試,學生可以透過我們之前的文章即時了解學校的最新開課政策:

但就像Cornell大學校長Martha E. Pollack說的:「There is simply no way to completely eliminate risk, whether we are in-person or online (無論是面對面上課還是線上上課,都無法完全避開風險)」因此可想而知,相信多數美國大學在新學期都仍會要求學生到校上課吧!
