Potsdam Campus Community,
We conducted more than 1000 COVID-19 tests on Thursday and Friday as part of our return to campus protocols to rebuild the bubble. All of these results have come back with negative test results! This is a great milestone in the return to campus protocols! Two people who live off campus and have been in quarantine since the beginning of this past week did test positive since our last reporting, and no additional quarantines are anticipated.
As shared earlier in the week, our reporting is inclusive of all undergraduate and graduate students, faculty and staff who live on and off campus, and who are all part of our on-campus learning and living community at the downtown and hill campuses.
To respect the privacy of the individuals, they will remain anonymous.
- 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 you are asked to help, is appreciated. It is important that you follow the qr-code classroom scan to check-in guidelines as this will limit the number of individuals who may need to quarantine.
- All members of the community should remain diligent towards the safety protocols put in place to stop the spread: wear your mask, practice good hygiene, abide by social distancing and take other preventative measures.
- We wish all of these community members good health and are grateful for everyone’s diligence towards following the protocols.
