Chattanooga State is moving to a new phase due to a coronavirus spike.
The community college will begin transitioning to a Campus Pandemic Modified Phase 2 Level of Operation beginning Thursday and be fully transitioned by next Monday.
Officials said, "Due to the recent spike of COVID-19 cases in our area, and because we care about the health and safety of our campus community, we want to do our part to help mitigate its spread.
All three instructional sites (Chattanooga, Dayton and Kimball) will remain in Phase 2 through at least January 8, 2021.
The Modified Phase 2 overview includes:
- Main campus and all instructional sites will be closed to the public, unless by appointment only.
