Dear MDC Community,

Miami Dade College (MDC) continues closely monitoring the Coronavirus (COVID-19) situation and is coordinating its efforts with the appropriate local and state authorities.

Although MDC remains open and all regular scheduled classes continue as planned, we have important information that we would like to share. Please click the link below to read more.

A Message to Students Regarding COVID-19

While MDC classes and operations continue as regularly scheduled, MDC has canceled all events college-wide until further notice based on recommendations from the Florida Governor.

We strongly advise you to take precautions against the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19).  Those who are experiencing influenza-like symptoms, with a fever greater than 100 degrees, and other related conditions, including cough, body aches, severe sore throat, or a runny nose, should consult with a medical professional and stay off campus until medical clearance is provided by a health care provider. Students who do not have health coverage are encouraged to contact Baptist Health Care On Demand. As a public health offering, they are providing free screening for cold or flu like symptoms (https://baptisthealth.net/en/lp/pages/care-on-demand.aspx).

MDCALERT/MEDICAL CAMPUS : Campus will be closed immediately.

Out of an abundance of caution, MDC is immediately closing Medical Campus, after a visitor who attended a recent, non-MDC event there has tested positive for COVID-19. MDC is consulting with local health officials regarding any additional actions.

MDC has also canceled all events college-wide until further notice based on recommendations from the Florida Governor. Classes at other campuses continue as regularly scheduled.
