[Important Information for Employees] COVID-19 | Wednesday Update

[Office of the President]

Dear Campus Community,

The college recorded three new COVID-19 cases on Wednesday, two students
and one employee. Over the past 14 days, 86 total cases have been recorded.

Pooled surveillance testing was held today for college employees and
students with 664 samples taken. Results will be shared when available.

By direction of the county health department, 110 students (37 on-campus
and 73 off-campus) and four employees are in mandatory or precautionary
quarantine. Additionally, two students are in precautionary isolation
having tested negative with rapid tests but awaiting back-up PCR test
results.

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 we transition to Thanksgiving break this Friday then fully remote
classes for the remainder of the semester, I ask you to take the Cardinal
Pledge each day wherever you are: wear your mask, practice social
distancing, wash your hands, avoid large social gatherings, and stay home
when sick.

Those who remain on campus over the next few days should limit gatherings
and activities to only those that are necessary. Please reach out to
relevant organizers, supervisors or faculty with specific questions.

Dr. Alexander Enyedi
President
