Albertus Magnus College Has 3 Positive COVID-19 Cases

Albertus Magnus College has confirmed its first student cases of COVID-19 on its New Haven campus, with one case in its Professional and Graduate Studies program and two cases in its Traditional Undergraduate program.  The students are isolated in their home environments and have been in contact with the Student Health Clinic for follow-up and guidance. 

Per the College’s established protocols, the Student Health Clinic has notified the City and State Departments of Health.  Contact tracing is in progress and anyone who has been in close proximity with the students is being notified by the College’s designated contact tracers.  In addition to existing protocols, further deep cleaning and sanitizing of any affected areas on campus have commenced. 

Other than these first student COVID-19 cases, the only other confirmed case for the College this fall was with a contracted employee who tested positive.  Since the pandemic’s onset in March 2020, Albertus has identified and implemented strict employee and student protocols, including health monitoring routines, to help prevent the spread of the virus. 

“Our primary concern is for the health and well-being of these affected students and our entire Albertus Community.  I’ve been incredibly proud of and grateful for the diligence of our students, faculty, and staff in following the College’s protocols and genuinely caring for each other.  For 95 years now, Albertus Magnus College has been defined by adapting to and overcoming challenges, and I know our community will do all it can to get safely through these challenging times,” said Albertus President Marc M. Camille, Ed.D.
