We’re writing to update you on health and safety measures at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law.
This week’s round of community testing revealed two cases of COVID-19 among Haub Law students, both residential students living in Dannat Hall. The affected students have been isolated, and contact tracing is underway.
As required by law, we informed the Westchester County Department of Health of these cases. Because both students live in Dannat Hall, where bathrooms are shared, the county is directing all students who live in that hall to quarantine for 14 days. Any Dannat Hall students who have left the residence hall should similarly self-quarantine at home for 14 days.
We will test all students living in Dannat Hall this afternoon, and again early next week. Random community testing will continue as planned, as well. Even if these test results come back negative, the 14-day quarantine will still be required.
Because of the two positive cases, we have raised the alert level on our COVID-19 Dashboard to yellow for the Haub Law Campus. To see the latest on-campus data and learn more about what the alert levels mean for you, visit www.pace.edu/dashboard. The dashboard is updated every day at the close of business.
Thank you to all of our students, staff, and faculty for your commitment to our community and for participating in our community testing protocol. The system is working as it should: We’ve identified these two cases, and now we can do the work necessary to keep our community healthy.
As we move forward, please remember to stay safe—wear your face covering, maintain social distance, and wash your hands.
