"As coronavirus cases spring up on our college campuses, we are reviewing real-time case data around the clock," State University of New York Chancellor Jim Malatras said. "This data is crucial to helping SUNY make quick, smart decisions that contain COVID-19 and protect our campus communities.
"With the launching of this new COVID-19 Case Tracker dashboard, everyone can now access that same data.
"Controlling this virus is a team effort. As we ask everyone to rise to the challenge and act responsibly, we owe students, faculty, staff, and surrounding communities transparent, easily accessible, up-to-date case information.
"If we are all informed and resolve to work together to make data-driven decisions in the interest of public safety, we can keep COVID-19 cases down and have a successful semester."
In late August, 43 students at SUNY Plattsburgh were suspended for violating COVID guidelines.
