Decision Triggers for Discussion of Closure or Partial Closure

Decision Triggers

A combination of community and campus criteria might lead to further campus restrictions, partial closure, or full closure.

Community Criteria

Significant government action Inability for city to do sufficient testing due to supply chain issues Significant and sustained increases in hospital admissions

Campus Criteria

Significant increases in the percentage of positive symptomatic cases or positive surveillance tests. Overall rate, sustained day-over-day increases Student or employee COVID-19 infection or exposure is determined after direct contact with others on campus. Excessive employee/student absenteeism due to COVID-19 Personal protective equipment (PPE) shortages impacting ability to care for COVID-19 Campus clusters overwhelm our ability to test, trace and isolate COVID-19 related fatalities within the SSA community

Possible Actions

Advanced or heightened social distancing, environmental cleaning Classes are suspended for a duration (either short or long term) with accompanying building closures to clean/disinfect/contact trace in consultation with local health officials. On-campus closure; full transition to remote learning
