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

[Office of the President]

Dear Campus Community,

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

Over the past 14 days, 80 total cases have been recorded, with 40 cases
active and 40 recovered. Based on public health guidance, 66 students and
employees are in quarantine -- 18 on-campus and 48 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.

The college has collected 3,079 pooled samples this week. Specific 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.

*Reminder: All Employees Eligible for Vaccines Next Week*
Beginning next Wednesday, March 17, all New York public employees are
eligible to receive COVID-19 vaccines. This includes all employees at SUNY
Plattsburgh, including student employees.

Follow state directions and requirements when making appointments beginning
next week.

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
