[Important Information for Employees] No New Cases from Second Round of Pooled Surveillance Testing

[Office of the President]

Good morning, Cardinals

The second installment of pooled surveillance testing of on-campus students
for COVID-19 yielded zero positive cases. The results were returned from
SUNY Upstate Medical University from the 498 samples taken Wednesday.

There have been no COVID-19 cases associated with the campus since two were
reported August 21-22.

I appreciate all you are doing in following safe practices, our policies,
and the Cardinal Pledge.

As we approach the fourth week of the fall semester, it is important we
remain steadfast and not let up. Together we can complete the semester
strong. It matters to each of you, your friends and the entire campus and
wider Plattsburgh community.

Pooled testing for on-campus students will continue Wednesday, Sept. 16.
Appointment times will be shared with students soon. We will be expanding
to broader groups of off-campus students, faculty and staff and will
outline those details when available.

Also, we shared with you yesterday a unique opportunity to help in the
fight against COVID-19 by testing a new COVID Alert NY app. Your
participation in the beta testing, before the app is released to the
public, can help develop a highly effective new tool. The link to the sign
up is here

.

We will continue to update and post COVID-19-related information online at
plattsburgh.edu/covid-19.

Enjoy the weekend.

Dr. Alexander Enyedi
President
