A College employee tested positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday, COVID-19 Resource Coordinator Mike Ranen announced in an email to the community this afternoon. The employee is on campus infrequently and was found to have been in close contact with one other employee, who is now quarantining at home.

This is the first case of COVID-19 the College has seen since two students tested positive upon arrival to campus on February 6.

“While we have had over two weeks without a positive COVID-19 case, this serves as a reminder that the virus is still in our community and we all need to continue our commitment to the safety precautions of face covering, physical distancing, and proper hygiene,” Ranen wrote.
