There is currently no COVID-19 outbreak at SVGCC

Press Release

There is currently no covid-19 outbreak at the SVGCC and any news of such is false. 

Today our Villa administrative offices were closed for sanitisation. 
This decision came after being informed that approximately four of our employees attached to that building recently paid their colleague (another employee) a home visit, as that employee is presently on leave for unrelated reasons. 

Following their visit, this colleague who was already on leave tested positive for COVID-19 on Friday 14th, 2021. 

As a result, we made the decision to close and sanitise our Villa administrative building effective immediately and request that these employees undergo a COVID-19 test and also isolate. 

Preliminary results for these employees are negative. 
The on-leave employee who has been out of office since May 4th 2021 is still on approved leave. 

We reaffirm our commitment to the fight against COVID-19, and recognise the significance of a joint fight in this pandemic. 

At the SVGCG we have installed sanitisation stations around our campuses, hired nurses who provide daily temperature checks to all students, staff and visitors entering our compounds, implemented the mandatory wearing of masks, upgraded and retrained our janitorial staff on COVID-19 cleaning standards, adopted a blended-learning approach to reduce on-campus numbers and encourage the practice of social distancing at every SVGCC division. 
Your safety and that of our students and visitors is of paramount importance to us. 

There is presently no COVID-19 outbreak at the St. Vincent and the Grenadines Community College and any allegations of such are false and misleading.
