    MEDIA STATEMENT

    Contact: Debbie Higgins, Director of Communications


    dhiggins@desmet.org, 314-682-8282

    On Friday, we became aware of an off-campus Halloween party referenced in the St. Louis County
    press conference this morning and took immediate action to ensure compliance with health and safety
    guidelines on campus. We identified and quarantined all students who were in attendance at the
    party, which was not a school-sanctioned event. We are extremely disappointed and frustrated by the
    poor decisions that led to the party in question.

    Since we began school in August, we have worked in close partnership with the St. Louis County
    Department of Public Health. Also, since school began in August we have not had a single known
    student-to-student transmission of the virus on our campus. Any students who have tested positive or
    have been in quarantine have traced transmission to off-campus events and activities.

    We are grateful that we have been able to provide a safe, on-campus learning environment for our
    students and faculty. This situation reminds us all of the need to be resilient during this challenging
    time.
