Merritt College COVID-19 Update

Good evening, all.

This morning we were informed by a PCCD employee that they had tested positive for COVID-19. The employee is now at home under quarantine. We have confirmed that the individual was in close proximity with another co-worker, so that person has been asked to quarantine as well. At this time, we are not aware of anyone else with whom they came into contact.

The health and well-being of our students and employees are paramount, so if you develop the flu or other symptoms (including dry cough and fever), please contact your medical provider. Please note that we are sending this communication out of concern for everyone’s safety, but we cannot identify the individual who tested positive for the virus due to privacy laws.

Be safe and take care.
