Florida Tech reported 11 new cases of COVID-19 among students and one employee case in the Nov. 20 weekly update.
“I’m pleased to report that we are doing far better this week than previous weeks, with a dramatic decrease in COVID-19 cases.” Florida Tech President T. Dwayne McCay said in the email update.
This week’s number is a substantial decrease; the total number is just over one third of last week’s reported spike of 35 cases.
McCay once again encouraged students who are traveling for Thanksgiving to complete the remainder of the semester remotely.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention state that the safest plans for Thanksgiving take place at home, with your household.
The CDC has provided guidance for those who do travel, stating that measures such as outdoor gatherings, refraining from sharing food or utensils, and keeping guests to a minimum can make things safer.
