Letter from Chancellor re: COVID-19
Communication sent from Chancellor’s Office to BRCC Faculty and Staff advising of the measures the state of Louisiana is taking to prevent the spread of illness and steps individuals can take to prevent the spread of the COVID-19. The communication also lists details about Gov. John Bel Edwards’ Unified Command Group meeting about coronavirus to ensure state agencies are coordinating and communicating effectively across all departments about this illness. Additionally, the COVID-19 Task Force has been created to lead Louisiana’s planning for different scenarios relating to the spread of coronavirus, and to offer guidance to state agencies, local governments, businesses and organizations. BRCC officials are reviewing and updating the college’s Continuity of Operations Plans (COOP) that were developed statewide in 2012 under GOHSEP’s direction to take coronavirus into account.
