enhance and adapt their health and safety protocols in an effort to minimize the spread of COVID-
19, and;
WHEREAS the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the United States government,
and the New York State Department of Health, and the Monroe County department of Public
Health are unanimous in their advocacy for the expansion of testing to as many individuals as pos-
sible in an effort to combat the spread of COVID-19, and;
WHEREAS the CDC has stated that, “To reduce SARVS COV-2 transmission, jurisdictions should
consider expanding testing of persons without symptoms (with and without known exposure) to
reduce asymptomatic (silent) spread in addition to comprehensive community-wide mitigation ef-
forts and testing of individuals with symptoms consistent with COVID-19” and;
WHEREAS St. John Fisher College, as part of its efforts to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and
maintain in-person instruction for the spring 2021 semester, has established free weekly testing clin-
ics for all students to detect COVID-19, and;

pressive task of regularly testing all students on campus, and;
WHEREAS this remarkable goal is fairly imposing on those individuals tasked with carrying out
and facilitating its success
