LECOM has protocols in place and has taken a series of precautions to mitigate the community spread of COVID-19 so as to best protect its campuses in Erie and Greensburg, Pennsylvania, Bradenton, Florida, and Elmira, New York.
Update as of May 2, 2022:
LECOM continues to maintain best practices for the overall health and safety of all faculty, staff, and students on LECOM campuses and clinical training sites. The LECOM Health Operations Center (HOC) monitors and evaluates infectious disease situations, based on federal, state, and local government guidelines, including, but not limited to, World Health Organization (“WHO”), and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) guidelines.
In accordance with these guidelines, LECOM is encouraging COVID-19 vaccination of all students, faculty, and staff and continuing mitigation efforts, inclusive of social distancing, mask wearing, daily screening form prior to entry, temperature checks, and handwashing, among additional preventive precautions. COVID-19 testing is performed 1) if symptomatic, 2) after travel or other possible exposures, and 3) as a regular screening measure for all faculty, staff, and students on campus.
