High quality CPR includes both chest compressions and breaths using a CPR face shield or CPR mask; however, as in any situation, if you do not have access to a shield or you do not feel comfortable providing breaths, you can provide only chest compressions (also called “Hands Only CPR”). Should someone need CPR, first call 911. Have someone call 911 for you or place your cell phone on speaker mode. Push hard and fast in the center of the chest. You should compress the chest 100 to 120 times per minute. Watch this video to see a demonstration of the Hands Only CPR method.
All individuals on campus are required to follow posted signage. Signage will communicate important information including, but not limited to:
- Protocol reminders
- Building entrance and exit points
- Floor decals denoting six feet of distance for wait areas and lines
- Occupancy limits in classrooms, conference rooms and other spaces
- Building-specific instructions, such as for laboratory work
The university will also regularly communicate with campus community members about protocols and other changes through emails, social media posts and updates to the COVID-19 website.
