Victoria College continues to work with members of the VC community who test positive for COVID-19. Those who have tested positive have self-isolated, according to CDC and local public health guidelines, and exposed areas of campus have been disinfected.
Contact tracing is coordinated by VC personnel and the relevant local health department. Those in the VC community who may have come into close contact with the positive cases are notified directly and given further instructions to prevent the spread.
To protect their privacy, VC is not able to release personal information about any students or members of the VC community who are being monitored or tested for novel coronavirus, including their location. When a member of the VC community is diagnosed with COVID-19, Victoria College and the relevant local health department initiate appropriate protocols to protect the health and privacy of anyone deemed to be at risk.
For the safety and wellbeing of the entire VC community, social distancing is required in all VC facilities, and facial coverings are required in public areas of buildings and any time social distancing is not possible. Everyone who enters a VC building must also pass a health screening and temperature check in order to receive a date-specific sticker that must be visibly worn the entire time they remain in a VC facility.
Victoria College would also like to remind you to continue to strengthen your personal health protection (see “Stop the Spread of Germs” below). COVID-19 affects all age groups, and the CDC recommendations outlined below are to protect yourself and care for others as well.
If you are a VC student and concerned that you may have been exposed to the virus that causes COVID-19, call Dr. Edrel Stoneham, Dean of Student Services, at (361) 582-2415.
VC employees who are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms should notify their supervisor and Terri Kurtz, Executive Director of Human Resources, at (361) 572-6463; contact their personal healthcare provider; and follow CDC guidelines.
