New COVID Guidance for Colleges Is Stricter Than CDC’s (1/20/2022 |
InsideHigherEd): The American College Health Association (ACHA) recommends
that students who test positive for COVID-19 not leave isolation until
they receive a negative rapid antigen test — a departure from the latest
CDC guidelines, which lowered the recommended quarantine period from 10 to
five days and do not require a negative antigen test to end isolation. If
a student tests positive after five days, they should test again on day
seven or eight, said Gerri Taylor, co-chair of the ACHA’s COVID-19 task
force. “And then if that is positive, they should stay through the full 10
days of isolation.” The new guidelines also recommend the use of N95, KN95
or surgical masks on campus, and amend the definition of “up-to-date”
vaccination status to include a booster dose, in keeping with CDC
guidelines.

San Damiano Cross:
Telling the History of Christ’s Passion. The San Damiano cross is the
large Romanesque rood cross that hung in the abandoned chapel near Assisi.
While still in his early 20’s and seeking his place in the world, Francis
of Assisi was praying before this cross when he heard the voice of God
commanding him to “rebuild my church.”…All Franciscans cherish this cross
as the symbol of their mission from God to commit their lives and
resources to renew and rebuild the Church through the power of Christ.

Throat Swabs Better Than Nasal Swabs Among Rapid Tests, Experts Claim
(ScienceTimes). On December 28, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
announced that rapid tests may be less sensitive to the Omicron variant.
That is why saliva tests are more recommended than nasal rapid antigen
tests.…Dr. Michael Daignault, an emergency doctor in Los Angeles,
explained that this is because more virus potentially lives in the throat.
Throat swabs or the rapid test that involves a procedure of sweeping a
swab at the back of the mouth is supported by many experts, saying it is a
go-to test of many people and can detect the Omicron variant despite the
recent announcement of FDA.
