[Important Information for Employees] Third Round of Pooled Testing Yield No Cases

[Office of the President]

Dear Campus Community,

Our third round of pooled surveillance testing for COVID-19 yielded zero
positive cases. The samples were taken Wednesday and analyzed by SUNY
Upstate Medical University.

The three-week series of testing for about 1,500 on-campus students is now
complete. We are expanding the breadth of tests beginning next week to
off-campus students and later employees and again on-campus students.

As we finish the first month on campus and approach our fifth week, I am
proud of our collective following of our policies and safe practices. You
are making a difference daily.

I encourage you to not let up. Though there have been no COVID-19 cases
associated with the campus since two were reported August 21-22, we must
remain attentive. We expect positive cases will occur and will use testing
and aggressive case finding to address.

Thank you again for all you are doing. Appointment times for next week will
be shared with students soon.

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

Dr. Alexander Enyedi
President
