The safety of CCC&TI employees, students, visitors, and the communities we serve is our highest priority. The following guidelines and protocols are designed to mitigate and manage the risk associated with COVID-19.
*Guidelines are subject to change.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), COVID-19 symptoms range from mild to severe illness. Symptoms may appear 2 to 14 days after exposure to the virus.
Students and employees who are experiencing fever, cough, chills, shortness of breath, fatigue, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea, or loss of smell or taste, must stay home.
CCC&TI is currently following the recommendations and guidelines from the CDC.

Face coverings will be optional with the exception of individuals who test positive for COVID-19 or have had a continuous exposure to a positive COVID-19 case. Those individuals may be required to wear a face covering when indoors upon returning to campus up to 5 days depending on the circumstances.
Also, employees and students must abide by face covering and safety protocols when required off-campus, such as in public schools, health care settings or other locations with specific requirements.
If students, employees or visitors become symptomatic while on campus, they will be advised to leave campus immediately and to contact their primary health care provider or the local health department.
