COVID-19 Case Update, COVID-19 Transmission Rate High in Monroe County

According to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (link to CDC website) the COVID-19 transmission rate in Monroe County is high. The CDC recommends the following prevention steps when the level is high:

  • Wear a mask indoors in public
  • Stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccines
  • Get tested if you have symptoms
  • Additional precautions may be needed for people at high risk for severe illness

COVID-19 Testing Sessions Held Today and Tomorrow
Located in the Flynn Campus Center Forum (3-130), MCC’s Testing Center will be open 12:30 to 6:30 p.m. today, April 25 and 9:00 to 3:00 p.m. tomorrow, April 26. No appointment is necessary. MCC uses COVID-19 antigen rapid tests—a simple and more comfortable nasal test.

Monitoring your health before coming to campus and testing are key factors to our ability to stop the spread of the virus and its variants on campus. If  you do not feel well, do not come to campus. If you think you were exposed to COVID-19, helpful information is available on MCC’s website.

If you test positive using a home test or with another provider, immediately contact MCC Health Services at (585) 292-2018 or healthsvc@monroecc.edu and the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities at studentrights@monroecc.edu. You must also notify your professors. Your name and personal information will remain confidential. Plan to isolate for at least 5 days and follow your county's directives (Monroe County directives).
