Safety Protocols Effective August 1, 2021

In conjunction with CDC guidance, effective August 1, 2021, Midland College encourages students, employees and visitors to wear face coverings/masks in order to mitigate the effects of COVID. 

Midland College will continue to follow safety protocols and limit the number of people gathering in areas such as auditoriums, lecture halls and community meeting rooms.

All students and employees are encouraged to get the COVID-19 vaccine if they haven’t done so already.

Research has shown that people who have received immunization for COVID-19 may become infected with the Delta variant. The good news is that there may not be any symptoms at all or the symptoms are mild. Symptoms tend to be similar to the common cold, such as cough, fever, and headache. Loss of smell has also been noticed by people who have been infected with the Delta variant. Those who are NOT VACCINATED and become infected with COVID-19 typically have the same symptoms of the Delta variant, but the symptoms may be MORE SEVERE. Symptoms may also include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle pain or body aches, and extreme fatigue. Anyone who is feeling ill with these symptoms or suspects they may have been exposed to COVID-19 should avoid being around other people and have a COVID-19 lab test.
