Hi Campus Community,   

Here are this week’s updates!

RETURN TO CAMPUS/COVID-19  

Case 

1 new positive case reported in the last 7 days.

Masking 

• The Executive Team is considering how the following county, state, and federal masking changes will affect the College’s indoor mask mandate for spring quarter: 

• King County’s indoor mask mandate to end March 12, 2022 now.  
• Washington state indoor mask mandate to end March 12, 2022.  

• The CDC updated its guidance on the use of masks based on the level of COVID-19 in the local community. Currently, the community level in King County is identified as “Low,” so CDC’s guidance is to 1) Stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccines and 2) Get tested if you have symptoms. CDC advises that people with symptoms, a positive test, or exposure to someone with COVID-19 should wear a mask. 
• Please provide feedback via this survey. 
• Executive Team will review survey feedback and announce a decision about indoor masking for spring quarter by March 15^th, prior to registration opening for continuing students.  

• KN-95 masks are available from your Executive Team (ET) and Student Learning, Equity, Success (SLES) members.  Paper bags also are available to assist in storing your masks and keeping them clean and dry for reuse.

Vaccines: 

• The COVID-19 clinic operated on campus from August 2021 through February 2022 and provided approximately 30,000 vaccines to the community. The College received a message from Todd Wollum, Shoreline Fire Department’s Campus Vaccine Clinic Supervisor, thanking us for collaborating on the community vaccination effort: “I cannot tell you how much we have appreciated the partnership and support from the College.” 
• Vaccine sites continue to operate in the Shoreline area for people ages 5 and up still needing to initiate or complete a vaccine series or receive a booster. Schedule an appointment for your free vaccine at: 

• Walgreen Drug Store – 145^th and Aurora:  Moderna

Tests:   

• Washington state residents can order more free tests during the month of March, while supplies last. You can place two orders of five tests each. 
• The federal government is offering every home in the U.S. four free at-home COVID-19 tests and starting next week, every home in the U.S. will be able to order an additional set of 4 tests. 
• Federal guidelines on coverage of over-the-counter (OTC) at-home COVID-19 tests call for your health plan to cover the cost of FDA authorized OTC at-home tests without cost sharing during the public health emergency and without need for a provider’s order.   

Parking 

Parking on campus remains free for spring quarter; no permits will be required but hazardous/illegal parking will accrue fines.
