Qianyi Xu, PhD<\/p><\/div>\n

As a great example to others, Qianyi Xu, PhD, Radiation Oncology Medical Physicist at Cooper, demonstrated his concern for Cooper\u2019s patients, coworkers, and the community at large by self-quarantining.<\/p>\n

Late in January, Dr. Xu and his family were going to be returning to the United States from China. They had been visiting relatives and, while not in the immediate area of concern, Dr. Xu felt a sense of responsibility to advise Cooper and seek input to next steps to returning home.<\/p>\n

Dr. Xu, Dr. Cao, and their two daughters \u2013 ages 2 and 8 \u2013 were not ill, but they sought to take the most protective action for all involved. They had volunteered to self-quarantine. Cooper\u2019s High Consequence Infectious Disease (HCID) team and Incident Management Team (IMT), working with the health department, assisted the Xu family in making the 14-day self-quarantine as safe and comfortable as possible.\u00a0Dr. Xu was able to work from home, and his coworkers covered for those tasks that would require his physical presence at Cooper. The children\u2019s daycare and school were contacted, and the Health Department assisted with those matters. COVID-19 pandemic protocols hadn\u2019t been established yet, but, based on his background in health, Dr. Xu had an excellent \u201ccontamination control\u201d procedure for receiving goods, food deliveries, etc.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile we were in China, my wife, children, and I were self-quarantined for two weeks. Upon returning to the U.S., we felt we should be responsible for our patients, colleagues, and the Cooper community and so decided to self-quarantine again. This way, there would be zero chance of spreading the virus, if there was any. Cooper HCID and IMT departments provided assistance to our family in all aspects including detailed health guidelines, offering grocery delivery, and sending toys and flowers to my daughters. I have to mention Dr. Raquel Nahra, Bob Saunders, and Shahrzad Darvish for their daily communication with us. It\u2019s truly heartwarming feeling as we were part of Cooper family.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2013 Qianyi Xu, PhD<\/p>\n

All in all, Dr. Xu went above and beyond what was required at the time to ensure not only the physical safety of all involved but also to alleviate any potential concerns any patient, visitor, daycare, school, or co-worker may have, real or perceived, due to the evolving situation.<\/p>\n
