Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University reported seven new cases of Covid-19 over the past week, April 15-21, 2022. That case count included four new cases at Embry-Riddle’s Daytona Beach, Florida, campus and three at the Prescott, Arizona, campus. There were no new cases at Embry-Riddle’s Worldwide Headquarters campus.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) has approved second booster shots for those 50 years old and over. Embry-Riddle has these vaccines available at both of its residential campuses, as follows, and no appointment is needed:

  • Daytona Beach Health Services: 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. every Wednesday and Thursday
  • Prescott Wellness Center: noon to 2 p.m. every Thursday

To ensure transparency, Embry-Riddle had pledged to report test results until the end of the spring 2022 semester. With the semester coming to a close, our last weekly test results announcement will be issued on Friday, April 29.

The university continues to strongly encourage Covid-19 vaccinations and booster shots. We further suggest that everyone should be aware of CDC mask guidelines. You can check your county’s risk level on this webpage.

As always, stay home if you are sick and practice rigorous hand hygiene.
