COVID-READ: Positive Case Reported Sunday Following Quarantine/ Testing

December 6, 2020

Potsdam Campus Community,

We were notified today that a member of our campus community has tested positive for COVID-19.  

This person has been in quarantine since last week after being notified of being in contact with a positive case and has been following all protocols.  St. Lawrence County Public Health representatives are working with the current case. 

  • To respect the privacy of the individual, they will remain anonymous.  We send them our well wishes. 
  • They will remain quarantined by the St. Lawrence County Public Health Department until officials have cleared them.
  • As part of the NYS protocols in any positive test case, a representative of the St. Lawrence County Public Health Department will notify directly any community members, students, faculty, and staff who may have been exposed and will give further guidance. These contacts will remain confidential.  
  • Public Health may ask the University for information to support their review and your assistance, if asked to help, is appreciated.

We understand that announcements like this may cause concern in our immediate community. If you have any questions about this communication, please contact clarksonhr@clarkson.edu and/or me.  We care about all of you and complete transparency in our communications.  Keep looking out for your community.
