Tuesday’s COVID-19 testing update:
Four students are currently confirmed as positive and remain in isolation. Also, as of Tuesday, there are 54 students in quarantine, on and off campus, related to the students in isolation as a result of contact tracing. We also received some welcome news today: a student who was presumed positive, but tested again to confirm that status, was determined to be negative.
In Monday’s surveillance testing, the testing team administered the pooled saliva test to 129 students. Those students who were assigned to Monday’s testing schedule but did not appear for testing on Monday will be required to meet with the Dean of Student Wellbeing for sanctions under the student conduct policies, and possible suspension or expulsion.
Please remember that COVID-19 testing for our students is a requirement and that each of us must fulfill our shared responsibilities every day for promoting the health and safety of our campus and surrounding community. Our individual actions will be the greatest determining factor in achieving our collective goal of keeping our campus open throughout the Fall semester.
