[Important Information for Employees] Campus Update | COVID Cases

[Michael Caraballo]

Dear Campus Community,



We are writing with this week's update on COVID-19 cases and related
information. Updates may also be provided as needed other days of the week.


Over the past 14 days, the campus has recorded 10 positive cases
. No students or employees are in quarantine. One employee and two students
are reported to be in isolation. If you are aware of individuals affected,
please respect their privacy.


Details on campus testing and cases are available on the SUNY dashboard,
online at https://www.suny.edu/covid19-tracker/.




*Mandatory Surveillance Testing and Contact Tracing*

Mandatory surveillance testing will continue weekly for unvaccinated or
partially vaccinated individuals who come to campus for any reason (e.g.
in-person classes, living in the residence halls, student organization
meetings, etc.) including students who have an exemption, and for employees
who have not submitted a Vaccination Attestation Form.



*IMPORTANT:* Individuals are NOT fully vaccinated until two weeks after their
second dose in a 2-dose series (i.e. the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines)
or two weeks
after a single-dose vaccine (i.e. the Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen vaccine).
If you do not meet these requirements you are considered partially
vaccinated and must continue with weekly testing.


The Clinton County Health Department conducts contact tracing and
determines who needs to be quarantined based on their level of contact.
Individuals who are fully vaccinated do not have to quarantine unless they
develop symptoms. Vaccinated students can attend pool testing three to five
days after exposure.

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.
