[Important Information for Plattsburgh Campus Students] COVID Cases | Monday Update

[Office of the President]

Dear Campus Community,

The college recorded 10 new student positive COVID-19 cases on Monday.

Over the past 14 days, 82 total cases have been recorded, with 39 cases
active and 43 recovered. Based on public health guidance, 52 students and
employees are in quarantine -- 22 on-campus and 30 off-campus.

Pooled surveillance testing continues Tuesday. Our caseload remains below
the state threshold that would prompt a pause in on-campus classes and
operations. This spring semester, the guidance from the state is to pause
when a campus' testing positivity rate is at 5 percent over a rolling
14-day period. Our current rate is 0.99 percent.

We respect the privacy of those in isolation and quarantine and will
support them. If you are aware, please also respect their privacy.

Specific pooled test results are reported to students, faculty and staff
directly only if they are part of a positive pool. Reflex testing is then
used to determine who may actually be positive. Center staff then notifies
all contacted individuals of their reflex testing results when received
from SUNY Upstate Medical.

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.

Dr. Alexander Enyedi
President
