COVID-19 Case Update

Protecting the health and well-being of our students and employees remains MCC’s foremost priority. Thank you for doing your part to protect yourself and others during the spring semester.

Visit the website or the related MCC Daily Tribune article regarding this week’s pooled testing schedule.

Regardless of vaccination status, if you work in-person at an MCC site or campus, we strongly encourage you to test at MCC’s Pooled Testing Center on the Brighton Campus—at least once—between Monday, Jan. 24 through Thursday, Feb. 3. By doing so, you will help MCC deliver a comprehensive baseline assessment of the absence/presence of COVID-19 within the college community.

Reminders:

If you feel ill or are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms (e.g., fever, cough, chills, etc.), please contact your health care provider or urgent care. Do not come to MCC. Do not contact MCC Health Services as responding to student health needs is their No. 1 priority.
If you have not verified vaccination and you plan to come to campus—frequently or infrequently—for any reason, you must test each week for COVID-19.
If you test positive for COVID-19, contact Human Resources and Organizational Development, at 292-2048 or HR@monroecc.edu.
If a student notifies you that they tested positive for COVID-19 or have been instructed to quarantine (i.e., have been potentially exposed to the virus), direct them to immediately contact MCC Health Services at 292-2018 or healthsvc@monroec.edu and the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities studentrights@monroecc.edu to confirm next steps.
