Dear Clarkson Community,
We are sharing the Schenectady County Department of Health COVID-19 information page, https://www.schenectadycountyny.gov/COVID19,, and CDC Page, https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-nCoV/index.html, which provides vaccination FAQs, testing resources, and guidance for isolation upon notification of a positive test.
COVID-19 Testing Information:
Employees and students should access testing from their local medical providers or the locations shared on the County Public Health site. At-home rapid tests are available for purchase at local pharmacies. Students and employees who test positive should follow the public health guidance to wear masks and isolate to minimize contact with others. .
Academic/Work Information:
Students who test positive should notify their professors and include the day when their isolation period ends in the email. Faculty members will work with students to make up assignments they may have missed, as they would with any other illness or injury.
Employees who test positive should notify their supervisor and Human Resources, clarksonhr@clarkson.edu, as well as stay home just as they would for any other illness or injury for further follow up and in accordance with the guidance posted on the County Public Health and CDC website.
Thank you again for helping to prevent the spread of illness and following public health practices and guidance.
Sincerely,
Brian Grant ‘93
Vice President for Student Affairs
Amy McGaheran
Vice President for People Resources
Christopher C. Robinson, Ph.D.
Interim Provost
