[Important Information for Employees] COVID-19 Case Update | Departure Testing Concluded

[Office of the President]

Dear Campus Community,

The college recorded 16 new COVID-19 cases on Friday. Over the past 14
days, 54 total cases have been recorded.

Also, mandatory COVID-19 departure testing for students concluded today. We
will share results both directly to tested students and to campus when
available.

By direction of the county health department, 117 students (44 on-campus
and 73 off-campus) and one employee are in mandatory or precautionary
quarantine. Additionally, three students are in precautionary isolation
having tested negative with rapid tests but awaiting back-up PCR test
results.

Decisions by the health department for quarantine are based on an
assessment of potential exposure to help prevent possible viral
spread. Those in isolation and quarantine are being released as they
recover and risk times expire. We respect the privacy of those in isolation
and quarantine and will support them. If you are aware, please also respect
their privacy.

As many of you prepare to go home or are already away from campus, please
continue to focus on prevention, health and safety to benefit
yourselves, your friends and your families. You can make a difference.

Dr. Alexander Enyedi
President
