Hi Campus Community,  

Here are this week’s updates! 

RETURN TO CAMPUS/COVID-19 

• Positive cases: new daily positive cases are on the decline: 

• Cumulative positive cases since the first day of winter quarter (January 10) remain low:   

• Student positive cases: 52, which is 2.86% of total students taking classes with in-person components.   
• Employee positive cases: 21, which is 3% of total college employees. 

• The College’s contact tracing protocols have been updated to reflect the latest guidance from the CDC and Washington State Department of Health on what people should do if they were potentially exposed to someone with COVID-19.  

• Masks: KN-95 masks have been distributed to front-line staff and to faculty who are teaching in-person.  Contact your Executive Team (ET) member or Dean for replacement masks. Per the CDC, KN-95 masks can be used until wet or dirty and should not be worn with other masks. KN-95 masks, as well as surgical masks, are available at Welcome Desks in the 1000/Admin, 5000/FOSS, and 4000/Library buildings for those who forget their mask. 
• Vaccines: FDA grants full approval to Moderna COVID-19 vaccine; it will be marketed as Spikevax for those 18 years and older. The vaccine has been in use for more than a year under an emergency-use authorization. 
• Questions? Email covidsupervisor@shoreline.edu or call 206-495-7744 during regular College operating hours.     
• Check the COVID-19 Updates site for the latest information.
