Potsdam Campus Community,
We have further updated the University Dashboard with the number of tests conducted on campus, which is inclusive of those members of our community who have tested positive through on and off campus testing, and those who have completed their isolations. Comprehensive information about our on-campus testing and positive cases are on a NYS Website.
We anticipate more people coming out of isolation this weekend. Positive test results were reported today for three on campus and four off campus community members, inclusive of individuals who were already in quarantine and some with additional contact tracing in progress based on limited time on campus.
- To respect the privacy of the individuals, they will remain anonymous.
- We wish them good health.
Please keep completing the daily screening tool in your routine, wearing the mast, practicing social distancing and good hand hygiene. If you have any questions about this communication, please contact clarksonhr@clarkson.edu and/or me.
Thank you for doing your part in our great Clarkson community.
