COVID-19 Dashboard Report: Jan. 14, 2022

There are currently seven active cases of COVID-19 in our campus community. Five are employees and two are students. All are isolating off campus. One additional student is in quarantine on campus.

There were 262 tests conducted on campus from Jan. 2 – 8, with a positivity rate of 9.5%. Many of those who tested have positive this month are students and employees who are not regularly on campus during winter session, and who therefore are not counted in our COVID-19 Dashboard active case tallies.

Ulster County’s current seven-day testing positivity rate is 25.3%, as reported by the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC).

The College is offering on-campus COVID-19 testing at Awosting Hall on a reduced schedule during winter session. Make an appointment here. Five-day-per-week on-campus testing will resume on Jan. 24.

Testing is also now available at a New York State-run site at College Terrace. Learn more and make an appointment here. The state-run site is open to all members of the public. Students and employees may choose to get a test at that state-run site, but please be advised that you will need to manually upload your test results to my.newpaltz.edu.

Our spring 2022 COVID-19 policies have been updated and are available here.
