Positive Case Note:
When a positive case occurs, the Leadership Team will act to notify those individuals potentially exposed. The number of received reports above represent all communication made with a Garrett College Official. In the vast majority of cases, which includes reporting of any possible COVID-19 symptoms, close contact and possible exposure, the individual is not COVID-positive. The report is taken for the safety of others and to ensure full transparency. Out of an abundance of caution, the Garrett College Leadership Team will review the report and take actions such as having any area impacted deep cleaned or temporarily moving or suspending classes or activities.The College's COVID-19 Exposure Action Plan outlines anticipated actions when the College is aware of a confirmed or possible COVID-19 case from a student, faculty/staff, or member of the community who visited the campus and whose presence might compromise the public health of the College.
Reporting Mechanisms
Each individual with a positive COVID-19 case, who is identified as a close contact or suspects they have been exposed should notify the College by calling 301-387-3037 or emailing equitycompliance@garrettcollege.edu. The Office of Equity and Compliance is the designated office handling reports of confirmed or possible COVID-19 cases from a student, faculty/staff, or member of the community who visited the campus, whose presence might compromise the public health of the College.
Individuals are encouraged to use email as the initial point of contact. The Office of Equity and Compliance is the Primary Contact and should be informed first.
