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

[Office of the President]

Dear Campus Community,

The college recorded 16 positive COVID-19 cases on Monday.

Over the past 14 days, 92 total cases have been recorded, with 58 cases
active and 34 recovered. Based on public health guidance, 92 students are
in quarantine -- 28 on-campus and 61 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.

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 1.26 percent.

Pooled surveillance testing continues Tuesday. Specific results from pooled
testing 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.


*All Employees Eligible for Vaccines*All SUNY Plattsburgh employees,
including student employees, are eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine.

New York has also expanded vaccine access to all people age 50 and older
beginning Tuesday. State (https://covid19vaccine.health.ny.gov/) and
Clinton County (http://www.clintonhealth.org/covid19vaccine/) web pages
provide details on appointments.

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
