COVID-19 CLUSTER NOTIFICATIONS


Notice: Beginning Aug. 9, 2021 all clusters reported under the guidance of the Clery Act will be posted on this page. Cluster notifications will no longer include social media posts.

This page serves as a notification of any COVID-19 clusters to campus per guidance under the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Crime Statistics Act, which establishes requirements regarding health and safety information that universities must share with their campuses.

A “cluster” is defined by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services as a minimum of five cases with illness onset or initial positive results within a 14-day period and plausible epidemiological link between cases. “Location” is defined as a single residential hall or dwelling. A group moves from the active category after going 28 days without a new positive case.

Anyone experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, which include fever, shortness of breath, muscle aches or a cough, should immediately contact their medical provider or Student Health Services, 252-328-6841.

The University will not broadly communicate details about individual positive cases, consistent with the State Human Resources Act and FERPA, as well as other privacy considerations.

Visit the Return of Pirate Nation site for more information about the University’s testing and contact tracing guidelines.
