[Important Information for Employees] A Return to Normal Operations

[Administration & Finance]

SENT ON BEHALF OF JOSEE LAROCHELLE, VICE PRESIDENT FOR ADMINISTRATION AND
FINANCE

Dear Colleagues,

You may have seen new signs across campus regarding face coverings, social
distancing, and health screenings. New York State has made significant
progress with COVID-19 vaccine distribution and our state of emergency
expired on June 24, 2021. This means a return to most pre-pandemic
operations and lifting of most restrictions on campus for vaccinated
individuals and revisions to our social distancing and face covering policy
<https://www.plattsburgh.edu/about/offices-divisions/administration-finance/management-services/campus-handbook/section-viii-health-safety/social-distancing-face-covering.html>.
Here
are a few highlights of what has changed:

   -

   Face Mask and social distancing are no longer required for fully
   vaccinated individuals- this includes employees, students, auxiliary
   employees, and community members/visitors.
   -

   The daily on-line COVID-19 health screenings are no longer required.
   Health screening will occur through a series of questions posted on all
   building entrances.
   -

   Social distancing occupancy requirements in classrooms are still pending
   SUNY guidance.
   -

   Offices may remove all outdated campus COVID-19 signage.
   -

   Starting July 15, furniture that was removed for social distancing will
   be returned.
   -

   Mandatory weekly testing for eligible employees will continue, however
   employees who wish to opt out by disclosing their vaccination status may do
   so by completing the Vaccination Attestation Form
   <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScqs_CGtt3U--Cyc1N99GYJKJ8Ac5CA7NVPsERY9HjjZKhZkg/viewform>
   .
   -

   The public is once again welcome to our campus.

Please keep in mind that although vaccinated individuals are no longer
required to wear face coverings, they may choose to continue doing so for
any number of reasons. Welcoming and accepting those who wear masks on
campus is an easy step anyone can take to support one another and
perpetuate our inclusive campus culture in a positive way.

Concerns about whether or not someone is not abiding by the revised guidance

should contact Human Resource Services at hrs at plattsburgh.edu.

Please visit this informational COVID-19 page

for more details on how we will continue to operate our campus with our
community’s health and safety first.

Cordially,

Josee
