COVID-19 Update: Vax Clinics and Pooled Testing Today

MCC continues to do a great job at keeping COVID-19 at bay on campus.

Since June 21, 2021, MCC Health Services and Public Safety have conducted 1,663 COVID-19 pooled tests, with no positive cases of COVID-19 identified on campus. Our on-campus positivity rate since September 2020 is 0.15% (SUNY COVID-19 Case Tracker).

Yesterday, Monroe County moved into the "substantial" COVID-19 transmission zone, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) COVID Data Tracker. Monroe County’s positivity rate is 3.14%. Please continue to stay vigilant to protect yourself and those around you. Mask wearing in indoor public spaces is encouraged.
