2 SUNY-O STUDENTS
HIT WITH COVID-19
ONEONTA – Two SUNY Oneonta students living off-campus have tested positive for COVID-19, according to a release sent by the college this afternoon.
“While all of us had hoped to avoid this situation, we have spent the better part of the summer preparing for it,” said SUNY Oneonta President Barbara Jean Morris. “Today’s quick response to this unfortunate news is the result of our strong partnership with the DOH and the effort our campus invested in our Fall 2020 Re-start Plan.”
These are the first confirmed cases of COVID-19 at the college since April, when three employees tested positive.
The Otsego County Department of Health (DOH) will work with them to determine whether to isolate at home or on campus. The college has arranged for one of its residence halls to exclusively house students who test positive for COVID-19.
The affected students will be able to resume normal activities upon approval of the DOH. The DOH also will attempt to notify others with whom they may have had contact.
It is important that SUNY step up and accept responsibility for the students affected with this virus and protect the tax payers ….the students are visitors and not tax payers and should not be putting their health situation upon the public …SUNY must keep them in isolation on a seperate building ,/dorm on campus or sent home …
1) Some SUNY students are certainly tax-payers.
2) SUNY has made preparations, and acted responsibly.
3) Do you always wear a mask in public? If not, be quiet.
1) SUNY students are not tax payers at all
2) they are putting the city and the town at risk 3) no school should be opening at all until this virus is over yes it sad to say but it is the truth if you don’t work for the schools don’t say nothing about students
4) SUNY do not have plans for the COVID and if they do we can see it’s not working so before anyone say anything make sure you and everyone else Has a plan that will work to prevent the outbreak
5) PD needs to step in for the college students that want to throw party’s it’s bad enough there is no parking for the tax pays
