Embry-Riddle Reports 14 New Cases of Covid-19, Dec. 10-16
Fourteen people at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University tested positive for Covid-19 during the Dec. 10-16 time frame. That case count included nine at our Daytona Beach, Florida, campus, and five at our Prescott, Arizona, campus. There were no new positive cases at our Worldwide Headquarters campus.
In addition, on the Daytona Beach Campus, nine people were quarantined after being exposed to the virus, Dec. 10-16. On the Prescott Campus, three people were quarantined over the same time period.
While the Delta variant of Covid-19 currently remains the primary cause of U.S. cases, the Omicron variant is expected to surpass Delta within weeks. A surge of new Covid-19 cases is predicted. In keeping with U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance, Embry-Riddle will continue to strongly encourage Covid-19 vaccinations and boosters for everyone in our community. We also encourage influenza vaccinations.
