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.

Hi Campus Community,

RETURN TO CAMPUS/COVID-19  
Cases     

5 new positive cases were reported in the last 7 days (as compared to 13 new cases the prior week).  

Masks 

Masks are now voluntary on college shuttles/vans, which brings the College into alignment with current federal practice regarding masks on public transportation. Look for updated signage noting this change.

Treatments 

While vaccination continues to provide the best protection against COVID-19, an oral anti-viral treatment can help people who are at high risk from getting really sick. The new Test to Treat federal program can help people quickly access free COVID-19 treatment that can help prevent severe illness and hospitalization when taken within five days after symptom onset. 
Testing 
A 3rd round of free test kits are now available from the federal government via COVIDTests.gov. You will be mailed 8 tests total.
