双语阅读：美国一些大学有学生感染了新冠病毒也不准告诉大家，理由是保护学生隐私
一些大学说告知学生在校园内的新冠病毒感染病例侵犯了隐私权，而专家认为校园对疫情保持透明度是关键

全国各地的学校和大学都在爆发COVID-19疫情，有好几所大学在仅仅开学数周后就不得不转向在线课程。但是还是有一些大学，就像佐治亚大学这样，即使校园内发现了冠状病毒病例仍坚持开放面对面的教学。据报道，现在佐治亚大学通知老师如果班上有学生检测出新冠病毒阳性，不准把这个消息告诉班上的同学。
佐治亚州大学学生报纸《红与黑》获得了大学校长杰克·胡（Jack Hu）和副校长Rahul Shrivastav代表学校当局发送的一封电子邮件，其中写道：“由于可能会侵犯学生隐私，教师不准将学生检测病毒阳性的消息告诉班上其他同学，即使不提这个阳性学生的名字也不行。”。学校这个指导方针似乎与疾病控制与预防中心的建议相抵触，疾控中心的建议是人们如果在与新冠病毒感染者在相距6英尺以内的地方接触了15分钟以上，就需要隔离14天。
《红与黑》报道说，教师还被告知，如果班上有学生测试阳性，不要因此去改变班级上课的位置或形式。
在佐治亚州大学网站上有关新冠病毒的健康和现状的声明中这样写道：“每个教职员工和学生都非常重视保护自己的隐私，特别是敏感的健康信息。我们有法律义务对这些信息严格保密。我们大学的目标是在尊重个人隐私并防止混乱的同时，和我们校园社区分享相关的和可靠的疫情信息。”
佐治亚大学并不是唯一在校园内采用这种政策方法处理新冠病毒病例的学校。波士顿大学的管理人员说，由于隐私问题，他们不会告诉教师他们的学生是否新冠病毒测试阳性。大学教务长让·莫里森（Jean Morrison）博士八月下旬在线上发布的声明中说：“对每个人的病毒检测结果都严格保密，这对我们社区（教师，员工和学生）的健康是最有利的。”
据《每日野兽》报道，阿拉巴马大学行政当局给教师发送电子邮件，指示他们不要告诉学生课堂上是否有人新冠病毒检测阳性。邮件中说：“不要告诉全班同学，”在“不要”这个词下面还有下划线加以强调。
佐治亚大学娱乐与媒体研究副教授Shira Chess告诉Yahoo Life，她和校园里的其他人对学校的政策非常反感。她说：“如果大学纠结的是要报告疫情的道德规范还是要让人不生病的道德规范，那么最好的补救办法就是不要逼着大家来上面对面的课程。我交谈过的学生，教职员工现在都非常害怕感染病毒，隐藏信息并重新包装信息都是没有用的。”
医生们也对这些政策感到担忧。 俄亥俄州阿克伦市的传染病医生，东北俄亥俄州医科大学内科教授理查德·沃特金斯博士告诉雅虎生活：“在我看来，这听起来就不坦诚，更像是一种欺骗的借口。 我觉得他们更关心的是自己的形象，而不是关心学生的健康和安全。”

Some universities say notifying students of COVID-19 cases on campus violates privacy rights. Experts say transparency is key
Korin Miller, Yahoo Life
Outbreaks of COVID-19 are happening in schools and universities across the country, with several colleges shifting to online classes just weeks after opening. But some schools, like the University of Georgia, remain open for in-person classes despite coronavirus cases on campus. Now, faculty at that university have reportedly been instructed not to tell their students if a classmate has tested positive for the virus.
"Faculty should not notify others about the positive test as it may violate student privacy, even when a name is not specified in these messages," reads an email sent on behalf of University of Georgia provost Jack Hu and vice president for instruction Rahul Shrivastav that was obtained by student newspaper the Red & Black. That guidance seemingly contradicts advice from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that recommends that people quarantine for 14 days after they've been within 6 feet of someone who has COVID-19 for a total of 15 minutes or more.
Faculty were also told not to alter the location or format of their class if there is a positive case in their class, the Red & Black reports.
In a statement on its website regarding COVID-19 health and exposure on campus, the university says that "individual faculty, staff, and students have strong interests in the privacy of their own sensitive health information, and we are legally obligated to keep that information confidential. The University's objective is to share relevant and reliable data to inform our campus community while also respecting individual privacy and preventing confusion."
The University of Georgia isn't the only school taking this policy approach to COVID-19 cases on campus. Boston University administrators said they won't tell faculty if their students test positive for COVID-19, citing privacy concerns, according to BU Today. "The health of our community — faculty, staff, and students — is best served by ensuring the strict privacy of everyone's test status," Dr. Jean Morrison, university provost, wrote in a message online in late August.
Faculty at the University of Alabama were also reportedly instructed via an email sent from administrators (that was obtained by the Daily Beast) that they should not tell students if someone in class tests positive for the virus. "Do not tell the rest of the class," the email says, with the word not underlined.
Shira Chess, an associate professor of entertainment and media studies at the University of Georgia, tells Yahoo Life that she and other people on campus aren't thrilled about the school's policy. "If universities are concerned with the ethics of reporting versus the ethics of getting humans sick, the best remedy is not requiring in-person teaching or in-person classes," she says. "Students, faculty and staff that I've spoken to have expressed a lot of fear. Hiding information and repackaging it doesn't help."
Doctors also have concerns about these policies. "To me, it sounds like an excuse to deceive and not be forthright with people," Dr. Richard Watkins, an infectious disease physician in Akron, Ohio, and a professor of internal medicine at Northeast Ohio Medical University, tells Yahoo Life. "I get the impression that they are more concerned with their image rather than being concerned about student health and safety."
