Hi Campus Community,
Here are this week’s updates!
RETURN TO CAMPUS/COVID-19
Cases
- 12 new positive cases were reported in the last 7 days (as compared to 5 new cases the prior week).
- Is it COVID-19 or seasonal allergies? Answers from the Mayo Clinic.
Vaccines
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) strengthens their recommendations for booster shots and expands who is eligible. Here is how to stay up-to-date with your COVID-19 vaccines. Staff can use work time to get a booster, but that cannot include travel time. Please note that you are not required to get booster shots to be eligible to work at the College; being fully vaccinated (or gaining an approved exemption) is the requirement for employment and is defined on pg. 13 of the Governor’s COVID-19 Vaccination Requirement Proclamation.
Tests
Can you use a home test after the expiration date? Answers from King County Public Health.
Masks
Masks are now voluntary on college shuttles/vans, which brings the College into alignment with current federal practice regarding masks on public transportation. Signage has been updated around campus; feel free to print / post more in your area, as needed: Campus COVID-19 Precautions sign and Masks Voluntary sign.
