Potsdam Campus Community,
We were notified this evening (January 20) that a member of our community tested positive today in off-campus testing for COVID-19. Please keep completing the daily screening tool to identify symptoms and act on the instructions based on your answers. And continue to use the new ‘checkin’ process when you attend class in-person.
Our reporting is comprehensive of all undergraduate and graduate students, faculty and staff who are part of our on-campus community at the downtown and hill campuses. To respect the privacy of the individual, they will remain anonymous.
- They will remain quarantined by the St. Lawrence County Public Health Department until officials have cleared them.
- We wish them good health.
We understand that announcements like this may cause concern. If you have any questions about this communication, please contact clarksonhr@clarkson.edu and/or me.
Thank you for doing your part and being a part of this great Clarkson community.
