[Important Information for Employees] COVID-19 Campus Update

[Student Health & Counseling Center]

Dear Campus Community:

As COVID-19 has evolved and guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control
(CDC) and SUNY have changed, so has our response. Although we are no longer
in a state of emergency, we should remain vigilant and take steps to care
for all members of our campus and greater Plattsburgh community.

Protecting the Cardinal Community

   -

   Get vaccinated and boosted. Appointments for vaccines and the newly
   authorized bivalent COVID boosters are available at local pharmacies
   <https://www.vaccines.gov/search/>. Details for an on-campus clinic will
   be out soon.
   -

   Get a flu shot. Schedule an appointment
   <https://www.vaccines.gov/find-vaccines/> at a local pharmacy.
   -

   Consider wearing a mask. This is an option, not a mandate - but it’s
   still a great way to reduce your risk of getting COVID-19 (and the flu)!
   -

   If you have respiratory symptoms (nasal congestion, sore throat, cough),
   mask up and take an at-home rapid antigen test; test kits are available in
   the Student Health & Counseling Center lobby, ACC information desk, and
   bookstore lobby. On-campus students may also obtain test kits in the Duty
   Office, located in each residence hall. We recommend that you test no more
   than once a day.
   -

   Students who test positive should follow the campus isolation guidelines
   <https://www.plattsburgh.edu/covid-19/index.html>. While students are no
   longer required to report their positive test results to the Health Center,
   please contact us if you want an appointment with a medical provider.  If
   you have severe symptoms (i.e. shortness of breath with chest pain), call
   911 or dial University Police at (518) 564-2022.


The evolving pandemic has necessitated changes to our response. What has
not changed is the Health Center’s commitment to helping students. Whether
you need an appointment with a medical provider, or just have a question,
please email at healthcenter at platttsburgh.edu or call (518) 564-2187.
