College Update on COVID-19 Testing Efforts & Cases

Your efforts to stay healthy and keep our campus community safe are working. To date, our 1,546 pooled tests all came back negative.

Our next COVID-19 pooled testing session will be held from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Wednesday, November 4 in the Warshof Conference Center, Flynn Campus Center (Monroe A/B). Please call the hotline at (585) 292-8310 to make an appointment.

Since our last report on October 26, the Monroe County Department of Public Health (MCDPH) has notified the College of 9 positive cases of COVID-19 among students and employees. Of those cases, 0 individuals were on campus. According to MCC Health Services:

  • 0 students are isolating on campus
  • 3 students are isolating off campus
  • 18 students are in mandatory quarantine (on and off campus)

Contact tracing is complete and people who need to quarantine or isolate have been notified. At this time, there is not a need to cancel classes or activities. MCC is unable to legally disclose any further details or personal identifiable information about these students and employees per federal privacy laws.

Please note: Information reflected on the SUNY COVID-19 Tracker and Monroe County Dashboard change frequently and may not exactly reflect the reporting provided above. If the MCDPH indicates that additional steps need to be taken, we will update you immediately. Should the number of positive cases within a two-week period rise to 67*, SUNY would require the College to transition to 100% remote learning for a minimum of two weeks.

MCC adheres to federal, state and county guidelines and requires mask wearing, social distancing, hand washing, respiratory etiquette and daily health self-assessments on campus. Please visit our Return to Campus web pages for the latest updates as well as information on protocols, pooled testing requirements and instructions, and SUNY-mandated sanctions for student non-compliance. If you have additional questions, please contact us at covid19response@monroecc.edu.

Thank you for your ongoing cooperation to safeguard health and safety.

*The SUNY COVID-19 Tracker will be updated to reflect this number.
