Dear Թ Students, Faculty and Staff,
Trumbull County, where Թ State’s Trumbull Campus is located, has moved into the “high” community level designation for COVID-19 as defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
As a result of this designation, face coverings are now required indoors at the Trumbull Campus. Masks are not required while working alone in an enclosed space, such as a private office or lab.
As we previously informed our university community, we are following CDC recommendations for counties at “high,” “medium” or “low” community levels when making determinations for safety precautions on our campuses.
In counties at a “high” community level designation, the CDC recommends:
- Wear a mask indoors in public.
- Stay up to date with .
- Get tested if you show any virus symptoms.
- Those at high risk for severe illness may want to take additional safety precautions.
Additionally, Ashtabula, Columbiana, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Portage and Summit counties, where Թ State has numerous campuses and locations, are now all at “medium” community level for COVID-19. We will continue to monitor COVID-19 levels in all the counties where we have campuses or locations and will adjust our requirements and recommendations according to CDC guidelines.
Թ State will always make the health and safety of our students, faculty and staff our top priority as we strive to provide a healthy and safe environment for all to live, learn and work.
Sincerely,
