Avoid Crowds: Visit the Bookstore During Extended Hours
The CC Bookstore will have extended hours today, March 28, staying open until 5 p.m. tonight. Lines are long on the first day of the block; bookstore staff recommends placing an order online in advance to avoid the crowd and try to come in outside of the lunch hour, if possible, to avoid the busiest time of day. Place an online order here and please have your Gold Card ready for order pickup in-store.

Check the Updated CC COVID Data Dashboard
The CC COVID-19 dashboard shows all known CC student cases. It provides quick access to COVID-19 metrics on campus, including daily and weekly COVID-19 testing numbers and positive test results. For questions regarding this dashboard, please contact Ben Moffitt in the Office of Institutional Planning and Effectiveness.
Masks remain an important tool for mitigation, and we encourage you to wear a mask when incidence is high. Check county COVID community levels here to inform your masking choices.

Long-COVID Resources
Researchers estimate that 10-30 percent of COVID-19 patients may have lingering physical or mental health problems weeks or months after recovering, even if their course of illness was mild. Around the country, long-COVID clinics and post-COVID care centers are opening to help people who had COVID and are experiencing lingering symptoms, such as fatigue, breathing issues, anxiety, new diabetes, brain fog, or trouble concentrating. While there isn’t yet a clinic in Colorado Springs, there are several post-COVID care clinics in the Denver area, and a virtual clinic is also available. Long-COVID can be a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act, Section 504, and Section 1557 if it substantially limits one or more major life activities.
