Questions with Chancellor Gold

Keeping up with the latest news, guidance and resources surrounding the national response to the spread of COVID-19 can be difficult, as each day brings new developments and even more questions.

As UNMC and University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) faculty and staff work to respond to the crisis, Chancellor Jeffrey P. Gold, M.D., is fielding questions from employees of both communities as they arise, and answering one new question daily on YouTube.

Faculty and staff can submit their questions to unmcevents@unmc.edu; please try to keep your questions as general as possible in order to help the largest number of employees.

Today’s question: I am a research scientist, and I am wondering what I can be doing when I am not spending time in my laboratory?

From April 2: What does the research about possible airborne transmission of the virus mean to me?

From April 1: What are some things I can do to ensure that my family stays healthy when I am working from home and everyone at my house is basically home all day?

From March 31: I miss my co-workers and ‘work family.’ How long can I expect to be working from home?

From March 30: Now that many parts of our campuses are largely closed, how are we continuing to ensure that areas being used by those personnel still on campus are disinfected as to minimize the spread of infection?
