- Several 100 Vaccination Appointments Added to Weekend Schedule
Potsdam Campus Community,
Mask
Golden Knights, when everyone wears a mask, it is our most effective way to seriously limit the transmission of coronavirus. Please wear it around everyone but your direct roommates — not just for you, but for your fellow classmates doing the right things to stop the spread and get back to our next level of campus activities.
Positive Case & Quarantine Updates
With public health representatives, the University Care Team Members are currently supporting 25 students with active cases of COVID-19 and 70 completing mandatory quarantines on and off campus. Twelve community members, inclusive of a cluster in quarantine, those returning to campus and employees; also had positive test results reported to us today.
We have also asked residents of Hamlin-Powers to enter in a 48-hour precautionary quarantine to facilitate comprehensive testing based on positive tests in the same residence and wastewater-based surveillance that included elevated SARS-CoV-2 markers. These students have received a separate communication.
If you are not feeling well or need to act on the daily screening tool, seek medical attention via the Student Health Center (shac@clarkson.edu or 315-268-6633) or via your own medical provider.
