Coronavirus news and safety tips

Pueblo Community College is working closely with local and state health agencies as we monitor developments in the COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak and continue to assess its potential impact on day-to-day activities at PCC.

The risk to most Coloradans from COVID-19 continues to be low. As the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advises, it is important for people to stay informed through reliable public health sources and know the facts about the virus. Please see the attached fact sheet for more information.

The PCC facilities staff works consistently to reduce the spread of all viruses by cleaning and sanitizing classrooms, common areas and work spaces. 

What can you do to help? Follow these guidelines from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment:

• Continue your normal daily routine.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
• Wash your hands with soap and water or, at minimum, use an alcohol-based hand rub, which may be less effective than soap and water.
• Avoid close contact with anyone with cold or flu-like symptoms.
• Get your flu shot and stay up-to-date on other routine childhood and adult immunizations.
• Stay home if you are sick.
• For more information, visit the Pueblo Department of Public Health and Environment website and Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment website.

We will continue to share the most up-to-date information with our students, staff and visitors as we work with local officials.
