The New Middlebury Workplace
| by Laurie Patton, Karen Miller, and David Provost
Karen, David, and I are following up on the news from this morning that an individual in Addison County has tested positive for the novel coronavirus. We had a lot of information in there from a public health perspective and will, of course, continue to communicate that vital content as we follow developments around COVID-19. We also know that you have questions and concerns about what working at Middlebury will look like in the months ahead, and how your jobs and lives—and those of your families and loved ones—will be affected.
Positive COVID-19 Test in Addison County
| by David Provost and Mark Peluso
Today, Porter Medical Center announced that an individual in Addison County has tested positive for the novel coronavirus, COVID-19. It is our understanding that the individual was tested by Porter’s drive-through service after being screened via telemedicine. The patient is receiving care, following CDC guidelines, and self-isolating at home. We ask all community members to respect the individual’s privacy and avoid speculation and rumor as to their identity.

I’m following up on my message from Sunday night about working remotely and providing links to documents that will clarify our policy and provide you with additional information. We’re encouraging all employees in Vermont who can do their jobs remotely to discuss this option with their supervisors.
Working remotely
| by Karen Miller
I’m sure you heard Governor Scott’s announcement today that Vermont schools will close beginning Wednesday through April 6. We expect this will present challenges for many of you. It may be difficult for you to work on-site at the College during this period. We wanted to write immediately with a short-term approach while we take a few days to develop longer-term solutions this week.
Message from President Patton: Checking in, Saturday, March 14
| by Laurie Patton
I’m reaching out with some brief updates since we were last in touch, late yesterday. This Midd community of ours, here and away, has just been extraordinary. Because—of course you are. I needed you to hear that first. You have my deepest admiration and thanks as we all navigate this most difficult time. It is a time of sudden sadness and truncated hopes. And in the midst of that, the human connection has been deep and real.
