COVID-19 UPDATE: 8 March 2022

Updated way of reporting SAE cases

Kia ora SAE whānau

As we ride the Omicron wave, it’s not surprising that we are finding more COVID cases on campus. This is not unexpected, and we’ve been planning for this at SAE. I’m incredibly proud of how our SAE community is coping – you are all continually proving how resilient, flexible and caring you are. Ngā mihi nui. 

My concern however is that with each announcement I make about another confirmed case at SAE, it may become overwhelming and the details of the confirmed case may become lost. 

As of today, I am therefore taking a slightly different approach in announcing any confirmed COVID cases that have been on campus. 

Essentially, I’m going to start a ‘Locations of Interest’ table specifically for our SAE Auckland campus. This will list each confirmed case, the dates they visited SAE and where they went. This will help you to determine if you were in close proximity to the confirmed case.

I will still reach out to any Close Contacts directly with additional instructions. But in general, at all times, please continue to monitor for symptoms and, if you become unwell, stay home and seek a COVID test if required. And please check our SAE Locations of Interest table regularly. 

The table below will be updated and announced via Slack and our COVID website whenever we have a new confirmed case that’s been on campus.

I hope this makes keeping track of COVID at SAE easier.

Take care everyone.

Arohanui,
