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

[Office of the President]

Dear Campus Community,

The college recorded three new student positive COVID-19 cases on Tuesday.

Over the past 14 days, 80 total cases have been recorded, with 42 cases
active and 38 recovered. Based on public health guidance, 62 students and
employees are in quarantine -- 19 on-campus and 43 off-campus.

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

Pool testing continues Wednesday. In addition to all those who are required
to test weekly by virtue of coming to campus, we have added other students
who live in the 12901 Plattsburgh ZIP Code to weekly attendance. This will
expand the reach of our surveillance testing and enhance active case
finding for public health purposes.

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* <http://plattsburgh.edu/COVID-19>.

Dr. Alexander Enyedi
President
