SUSPENSION OF COVID-19 PROCEDURES

COVID cases in our area are currently at a controlled level. Therefore, with the start of the summer semester, Brazosport College will suspend Contact/Exposure reporting, contract tracing, and weekly COVID-19 campus updates, effective with this message. 

As a part of this transition, please be aware of the following:

• Contact/Exposure reports are no longer required; however, individuals should perform a self-health check prior to coming to campus and stay home if sick.
• We encourage you to be mindful of your personal interactions in order to protect yourself and others from the spread of illness.
• We will continue to follow guidance from the CDC, state, and local health departments.
• Should our community experience a surge or spike in cases, we are prepared to make changes to operations if necessary; so it's vital that you check your Brazosport College email for updates.

Please continue following the CDC guidelines for preventing the COVID-19 Coronavirus, which includes, but not limited to, thorough hand washing, social distancing, wearing a mask, and receiving COVID-19 vaccinations.

All COVID-19 questions or concerns should be directed to Marshall Campbell, Vice President, Human Resources and Chair of the Executive Council.

The health and well-being of our students, employees, and community is our top priority, and we thank you for your diligence and patience as we navigated the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.
