UMM Message from UMM Head of Campus Daniel Qualls (11/12/20):
Dear University of Maine at Machias community members,
This morning, we received a report of one confirmed positive COVID-19 test result identified through campuswide asymptomatic screening, during which 207 tests were administered to students, faculty and staff.
The student lives in an off-campus residence and is isolating at home with no symptoms reported at this time. UMM and Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention are involved in providing support to the student, and are taking the necessary steps to notify any close contacts within the campus community. Health and safety protocols are in place for deep cleaning of facilities used by the student.
UMM students, faculty and staff have done a commendable job at following the Clippers Care pact to keep our community safe. The reality is that community transmission is on the rise all across the state, and we must be even more vigilant in our efforts to reduce the spread of the virus.
UMM will initiate another round of asymptomatic screening on Monday, Nov. 16, 12–4 p.m. in Sennett Hall. Tests will be available to all students, faculty and staff, as well as their family members or those with whom they share a residence. If you are a member of the UMM community who wishes to bring a member of your household and/or family to be tested, please contact Marnie Kaler, marnie.kaler@maine.edu, with the name(s) of the individual(s) requesting an appointment.
Daily updates regarding asymptomatic tests are available on the UMS testing dashboard.
If you or people you know in the UMM community have concerns about COVID-19 symptoms, close contact or a positive test, call the COVID-19 info line at 207.581.2681 or fill out the online self-reporting form or email umaine.alerts@maine.edu.
Thank you for continuing to follow health and safety guidance: wear face masks, avoid gatherings, maintain physical distance from others, practice good hand hygiene, and stay home if you have symptoms.
Sincerely,
Dan Qualls
