OLEAN â Jamestown Community College will be going virtual for the rest of 2020, college officials reported Wednesday.
âAs has been predicted by healthcare officials, a significant increase in COVID-19 cases is occurring in our region,â said JCC president Daniel DeMarte, with all operations, including courses and services between Wednesday and Dec. 23, moving to a full remote delivery mode.
The college had already moved to remote classes following Thanksgiving break, as well as implementing pool testing among students and staff, and limiting public access to campus facilities as steps to battle the pandemic on the collegeâs campuses.
Essential personnel will continue to work on campus. Courses scheduled through Cornell Cooperative Extension and Workforce Readiness will continue and be completed by Dec. 18. Pool testing will continue as scheduled. To date, two positive results have been found in more than 1,000 tests performed by the college.
