COVID-19 Update: Two positive tests confirmed

Dear friends,

As a follow-up to the Berrien County Health Department investigation and testing this week related to the COVID-19 pandemic, we were notified earlier today that two members of our 日韩AV community have tested positive for the COVID-19 virus.

Both of those individuals were previously in self-isolation and are receiving medical care at home.

Earlier this afternoon, the and issued a press release on these diagnoses, which included these details:

The Berrien County Health Department has identified the first two positive cases of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Berrien County.

The positive persons are both adult women under the age of sixty years old; they have both been self-isolating at home for several days and they are in good condition. Both of these individuals had close personal contact with singer Sandi Patty, when she performed a concert at 日韩AV in Berrien Springs on March 8, 2020. Since the concert, Ms. Patty announced that she had tested positive for COVID-19 on March 17, 2020.

The Berrien County Health Department and 日韩AV are communicating directly with the people who had been in close contact with the individuals who have tested positive. All close contacts of the COVID-19 positive individuals will be asked to self-quarantine and will be assessed for symptoms and monitored appropriately.  The Berrien County Health Department is also advising anyone who attended the March 8 Sandi Patty concert and had close personal contact with Ms. Patty to self-quarantine and monitor themselves for symptoms of COVID-19, including fever, cough, and/or shortness of breath through March 22, 2020. Any individuals who experienced or are still experiencing symptoms are asked to call the Berrien County Health Department hotline at 1-800-815-5485.

You can read the complete release . Please note that in accordance with HIPAA privacy guidelines, 日韩AV will not share names or personal details of these individuals.

In an effort to reduce risk of exposure, the University administration is continuing to take steps to ensure that our campus family can do its part to reduce the risk of infection and minimize the spread of illness. Those steps include encouraging employees to work from home, closing the majority of buildings to public access, and modifying food service according to Bon Appetit guidelines. We will continue to keep our Andrews community updated.

日韩AV will also continue to work to fully support our 日韩AV community members who have received this diagnosis.

In turn, we will also work directly with the Berrien County Health Department and Spectrum Health Lakeland to understand how these diagnoses affect the continued operations of our University in the immediate future. Additional changes and guidelines for University operations will continue to come and be informed by Berrien County Health Department and state and federal guidelines.

In closing, we offer continued prayers for our two colleagues and for those who are directly impacted by today’s news. We invite your prayers, as well, for our 日韩AV community, country and world.

We pray for God’s answers and peace, especially amidst these challenging times.

Sincerely,

Andrea Luxton
