Dear NYFA NY Community,
NYFA is committed to keeping the community informed of the incidence of COVID-19 on all its campuses.
A member of the NYFA New York campus community tested positive for COVID-19. This individual was not present on campus at any time during the infectious period. Nor has this individual been in contact with any member of the NYFA community during the infectious period. This individual is currently observing self-isolation guidelines. The individual who tested positive for COVID-19 does not reside in the EHS residential facility.
It is important to note that the member of the NYFA NY community who tested positive for COVID-19 was asymptomatic and got tested in accordance with NYFA's protocol of testing prior to participating in an in-person class or activity. This action may have prevented spread in our community.

The incidence rates of new cases of COVID-19 in New York City and New York State is high. Please remain vigilant by following personal hygiene guidelines, practicing physical distancing, wearing masks when venturing outside your homes, and staying home when you are sick. In abiding by these practices, you will limit your exposure to the virus, as well as the new virus variants, and you will be doing all you can to stay healthy and protect the safety of our community.
