[Important Information for Employees] Campus Update | COVID Information

[Michael Caraballo]

Dear Campus Community,

This semester, we will be writing the campus with COVID-related updates
each Monday. Updates on cases, quarantines and vaccines may also be
provided as needed other days of the week.

Additionally, details on campus testing and cases are always available on
the SUNY dashboard, online at https://www.suny.edu/covid19-tracker/. Simply
choose Plattsburgh from the left-side menu and you'll see complete campus
statistics.

The college has recorded two positive COVID-19 cases over the past 14 days.
These are the only active cases. No students or employees are reported to
be in quarantine.

*Pooled Surveillance Testing and Vaccines*
Incoming student pooled surveillance testing began today and will continue
tomorrow and Thursday. Details were shared with students previously.
Testing of all students regardless of vaccination status will also be done
the weeks of October 11 and November 29.

Starting Monday, Sept. 6, all unvaccinated or partially vaccinated students
who are coming to campus for any reason (e.g. - in-person classes, living
in the residence halls, student organization meetings, etc.) must
participate in weekly testing. Only students who provide proof of
vaccination through the SUNY Portal will be exempt from this requirement.

Of course, all students must complete the vaccination process by Monday,
Sept. 27. An additional Pfizer vaccination clinic is set for Wednesday,
Sept. 1 from 2 - 4 p.m. Registration is online here:

.

Employees must attend weekly testing as well, unless they have
submitted a Vaccination
Attestation Form

*Results, Health and Safety*SUNY Upstate Medical University reports pooled
testing results directly to students, faculty and staff to your registered
email address when completed.

If your result is presumed negative, you need take no further action. If
your result is positive, you will be contacted by the Student Health and
Counseling Center or the Clinton County Health Department with further
details. If you get the notification email before being contacted, we ask
you to self-isolate and contact your health care professional or the health
center at 518-564-2187 or healthcenter at plattsburgh.edu.

We encourage you to take steps daily to ensure the safety for you and all
around you. Wear a mask, practice social distancing, wash your hands, avoid
large social gatherings, and stay home when sick. More information is
online at plattsburgh.edu/COVID-19.
