Please see below for details on new cases that have recently been reported at our Eastern, Metropolitan and Westshore campuses and the measures taken to ensure the health and safety of our students, faculty and staff.

Yesterday the Ohio Department of Health reported 1,709 new cases of COVID-19 in Ohio with 207 new cases in Cuyahoga County. For your safety and that of others, please wear a mask, wash your hands frequently and maintain six feet of social distancing.

Students, faculty and staff who were in contact with the above-mentioned individuals have been notified, advised to self-monitor using the College’s health assessment and/or self-quarantine for 14 days, and provided with testing information. The individuals who tested positive have been advised to follow all medical and public health guidance and College protocols prior to returning to campus.

Important Reminders

Though daily COVID-19 case numbers remain high, extensive safety protocols are in place at all College locations. Additionally, 230 bipolar ionization filters were recently installed across the College, covering classrooms, offices and general gathering areas. These systems remove 99.4% of all COVID-related viruses from the air.

The College will continue to monitor the number of COVID-19 exposures and cases, adjusting these plans if necessary.

We need everyone’s help to keep our community safe by continuing to follow safety protocols:

  • Perform a daily health assessment before coming to any campus or facility, and review and electronically sign the COVID-19 Statement of Personal Responsibility once per semester
  • Wear a mask properly
  • Stay 6 feet apart
  • Wash your hands frequently, for 20 seconds
  • Celebrate small
  • Don’t eat or drink with anyone outside your household
  • Limit travel
  • If you’ve been exposed to the virus, you must isolate at home for 14 days. Do not come to the College. Notify Risk Management for specific instructions.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Response and Preparedness

Tri-C’s Office of Compliance and Risk Management is monitoring the development of all potential and confirmed cases of the coronavirus (COVID-19) in the United States. Senior leadership at the College is meeting regularly to guide Tri-C’s processes, plans and protocols in regard to the situation.

On March 9, 2020, public health officials confirmed three cases of COVID-19 in Cuyahoga County. In response, Gov. Mike DeWine declared a State of Emergency in Ohio, an action that allows state departments and agencies to better coordinate their responses to protect citizens.

Tri-C is taking precautions to ensure the safety and health of the Collegewide community. In addition to issuing health bulletins on COVID-19 symptoms and prevention, the College has suspended all international and domestic travel for staff and students until further notice.
