UMF Reports First Known COVID-19 Case In Maine CDC Isolation, 8/28/20 Campus Message:
Dear UMF Community –
We have confirmed that an adjunct faculty member who lives in the greater Farmington area tested positive for COVID-19 after traveling back to Maine from out of state. The individual was tested by their primary care provider and did not participate in the on-campus asymptomatic testing program. As a result, the Maine CDC has determined that no quarantining of UMF students, faculty or staff is required at this time. The adjunct faculty member is in isolation at home and is working with the Maine CDC with support from UMF.
To date, UMF’s asymptomatic testing program has identified no positive COVID-19 cases, with more than 800 students, staff, and faculty having been tested over the last three weeks.
System-wide, more than 3,400 test results have been received and are reported on the UMS COVID-19 Testing Summary dashboard. For UMS daily case updates from each System campus, please see the Together for Maine website. Today’s update will include this new positive result linked to UMF, but will not be reflected on the asymptomatic testing dashboard, as the individual did not participate in the UMF asymptomatic testing initiative.
The Farmington community is close-knit — it’s why many of you chose to come here. As students, staff, and faculty we must all exercise an abundance of caution on campus, and in our surrounding community. The only way to minimize the spread of the virus is to collectively comply with all of our safety measures. Like I’ve said before, we’re all in this together – even at six feet apart.
We’ll be in touch with further updates, as necessary.
Be well, Beavers,
Edward [Serna, President, UMF]
