Dear Campus Community,
Last evening, | wrote to you about a Lehman student who alerted us yesterday that she
had tested positive for coronavirus. We now know more information about her schedule
on campus.
The student began feeling ill on March 5, and thought it was allergies. She attended
classes on March 5, 7, 9 and 11. Last week, however, she began feeling sluggish and
fatigued, and was tested for the coronavirus. She heard back Sunday that she was
positive.
State health officials has advised us that the students and instructors who were in her
classes, held at Davis and Carmen halls, need to go into a “precautionary quarantine”
for 14-days after they took a class.
These were the classes attended:

custodial staff as part of their ongoing proactive cleaning measures.
The risk to the rest of our community is low. But these are extraordinary times. If you
experience symptoms such as a fever, cough and difficulty breathing or shortness of
breath, please contact your health care provider. If you don’t have a health care
provider, please call 311.
Your safety and health are my priority. If you would like more information, please feel
free to email us atcovid19.taskforce@lehman.cuny.edu.
Finally, for tomorrow, Tuesday, March 17, campus offices will be open only to essential
staff as we continue to prepare for distance learning to begin Thursday, and we finalize
new operating procedures.
Our thoughts are with the impacted student and her family at this time, and all our
community.

Title
COVID-19 Update (Lehman College Campus COVID-19 Exposure)
Description
Sent on March 16, 2020, this email provided official notice of COVID-19 exposure among the Lehman College student body. In conjunction with John Jay College, Brooklyn College, and the College of Staten Island, this announcement marked the spread of COVID-19 to CUNY campuses across four of New York City's boroughs.
This item is part of the City University of New York (CUNY) Distance Learning Archive, a group project developed as part of Prof. Matthew K. Gold's Spring 2020 Knowledge Infrastructures seminar in the Ph.D. Program in English at The Graduate Center, CUNY, in partnership with the Interactive Technology and Pedagogy Certificate Program. The project's goal was to resist or trouble the discourse of catastrophe around the shift to online learning caused by the COVID-19 pandemic by documenting the lived experiences of students, faculty, and staff across CUNY's 25 campuses. Further, the project wanted to document the moment of crisis response by taking a critical approach to educational technology.
