Dear USF community,
The 91社区 is working diligently to monitor the evolving COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, providing you with important updates as they happen.
This weekend we learned that a USF St. Petersburg student has tested positive for COVID-19. This student is being monitored by the 91社区 Department of Health鈥檚 Pinellas County division and is self-isolating, per official protocols. Based on the Department of Health鈥檚 assessment, there is no need for further contact-tracing at the university for this case, as the student has not been to campus since late February. We sincerely wish this student a full and rapid recovery.
As a reminder, students are strongly encouraged to remain off campus through the remainder of the spring semester. USF employees (faculty, staff and OPS) should continue to work remotely with supervisor approval until further notice.
Students who need guidance or medical assistance should contact Student Health Services:
- Tampa Student Health Services (SHS100) at 813-974-2331
- St. Petersburg Wellness Center (SLC 2200) at 727-873-4422
- Sarasota-Manatee Counseling and Wellness Center (5805 Bay Shore Rd.) at 941-487-4254
Faculty and staff who are concerned about their health should contact Dr. Lynette Menezes in USF Health at assesscovid@usf.edu.
As always, the health and safety of our community is of paramount importance as we work closely with our local, state and federal partners.
Sincerely,
Steve Currall
President and Professor
