St Louis College of Health Careers holds the health and safety of our campus community as a top priority and wants to ensure that all of our community members have access to information about the evolving Coronavirus (COVID-19).

We are closely monitoring the situation per the guidance of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Updates will be posted on this site as available. Please check back regularly.

Prevention

With new data on the spread of coronavirus, the CDC now recommends that individuals wear cloth face coverings when they go out in public. Evidence has shown that individuals can spread the virus even without symptoms. Wearing a face covering helps prevent asymptomatic, but infected, individuals from spreading the virus. Children under age 2 and those with breathing problems should not wear face covering. N95 respirators and surgical face masks should be reserved for health care workers caring for those affected by this virus. http://www.cdc.com
