As of Monday, August 2, face masks will once again be mandatory in all interior spaces on the Purdue University campus for students, employees and visitors, regardless of their immunization status.

University made the switch after CDC updated its guidelines Tuesday, claiming that all individuals – vaccinated and unvaccinated – should mask themselves in indoor public places due to the high transmission rate of the delta variant.

In May, Purdue said he strongly encourage vaccinations for all before returning to campus. The school also offers an incentive to students and teachers who show proof of their vaccination. Ten students and 50 staff who document their vaccine at the university will be chosen to win a prize.

Purdue also hosts a vaccination clinic on the West Lafayette campus.

State health officials take stock of COVID-19 numbers and vaccination efforts on Friday afternoon.

Officials in Indiana have said levels of COVID-19 cases are higher than we were at this time last year. Dr Kris Box said the greatest threat came from the delta variant, and tests showed 91% of cases in the state came from this variant.

The state tests 13,000 people a day and said 8,000 people in Indiana have been hospitalized with COVID-19 this week.

The Indiana State Department of Health recommends that anyone two years of age and older wear a mask indoors, regardless of vaccination. The state recommends the same for schools in Indiana, but leaves it up to the districts to decide. Dr Box said local leaders and school districts have told the state they want the right to decide whether masks should be mandatory, which is why the ISDH is sticking to recommending masks . This indicated that low vaccination rates among college students and students who are currently too young to be vaccinated was a major concern.

The state is seeing an increase in cases of delta variant among school-aged residents.

All K-12 institutions are required to notify the state immediately upon learning of a positive case and a student who tests positive must self-quarantine.

Almost 50% of Hoosiers have not yet been vaccinated against COVID-19.

Cases of rupture are still possible in vaccinated people, especially with the delta variant. However, cases in people who have been vaccinated tend to be milder and in most cases do not result in hospitalization. The state said deaths in rupture cases are rare and tend to be in those 80 and over. ISDH reports that 96% of deaths are from unvaccinated Hoosiers. Of the nine deaths in long-term care facilities in Indiana, only one involved a person who was fully vaccinated.

The Indiana State Department of Health has reported six more deaths from COVID-19 and 1,461 more cases. The total number of deaths in Indiana from COVID-19 is 13,576.

American health authorities are expected to publish new data on the spread of COVID-19[feminine vendredi, cela a conduit à leur décision de recommander aux personnes vaccinées de porter des masques dans certaines situations, un renversement des directives précédentes.

Le rapport, qui doit être publié par les Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, provient d’une enquête récente sur une épidémie de coronavirus à Provincetown, Massachusetts, selon un responsable fédéral qui a parlé sous couvert d’anonymat car ils n’étaient pas autorisés à divulguer le plan.

Selon plusieurs rapports, une présentation interne du CDC a également expliqué comment la variante delta semble se propager aussi facilement que la varicelle et provoquer une maladie plus grave. Le document soutient également que les responsables doivent « reconnaître que la guerre a changé », selon le Washington Post. CNN a rapporté que la directrice du CDC, le Dr Rochelle Walensky, a confirmé l’authenticité de la présentation.

Walensky a déclaré à CNN qu’il s’agit de “l’un des virus les plus transmissibles que nous connaissions. La rougeole, la varicelle, ceci – ils sont tous là-haut”.

Le commissaire à la santé de l’État, Kris Box, MD, et le médecin-chef Lindsay Weaver, MD, font le point vendredi après-midi sur la réponse de l’État à la pandémie de COVID-19.

Japan is set to extend the coronavirus state of emergency in Tokyo to neighboring regions and the western city of Osaka as infections soar to new heights as the capital hosts the Olympics.

Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga is expected to announce later on Friday that the emergency will be extended until August 31. The measures currently in place in Tokyo and Okinawa would include Saitama, Kanagawa and Chiba, as well as Osaka. Tokyo has set three daily records in a row. COVID-19 cases have doubled since last week.

Emergency measures mainly involve shorter hours and a ban on alcohol in restaurants and bars, but they have less impact due to fatigue from restrictions and the increasing spread of the delta variant.

Hundreds of thousands of doses of the COVID-19 vaccine have been rescued from the trash after U.S. regulators extended their expiration date for the second time. It’s part of a nationwide effort to collect expiring injections to tackle the summer outbreak of infections in the country.

The Food and Drug Administration sent a letter to shot maker Johnson & Johnson on Wednesday, stating that the doses remain safe and effective for at least six months when stored properly.

The FDA decision gives injections an additional six weeks as public authorities pressure more Americans to get vaccinated. Public health officials are trying to ensure that injections that are about to expire are put to arms before they need to be thrown away.

the Centers for Disaster Control and Prevention recently updated its testing recommendations for fully immunized people.

According to the update on the CDC website, if a person is fully vaccinated and is exposed to someone with COVID-19, they should be tested 3-5 days after exposure.

The previous recommendation stated that those who are fully vaccinated do not need to be tested if they are exposed, unless they have symptoms.

The change comes the same week that the CDC released a new recommendation that calls for re-wearing a face mask indoors in areas of the country that are COVID-19 hotspots, even for those vaccinated. The change covers about two-thirds of all counties and parishes in the United States, according to CDC data.

The organization’s decision came about two months after the CDC said those vaccinated could go without masks in most situations. But the decision was overturned after the delta variant raised cases across the country.

There were over 34.75 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the United States as of 3:30 a.m. ET Friday, according to Johns Hopkins University. There have been 612,120 recorded deaths in the United States

Globally, there have been over 196.6 million confirmed cases of coronavirus with over 4.19 million deaths. More than 4 billion doses of vaccines have been administered worldwide.

For most people, the coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms. For some, especially the elderly and people with existing health problems, it can cause more serious illnesses like pneumonia or death.
