  • About COVID-19

With health and safety in mind, the college developed a series of safety protocols related to the COVID-19 pandemic. These protocols were created using guidance from the Governor’s Office; the Virginia Department of Health (VDH); Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC); and other federal and state agencies. The college’s safety procedures may change as guidance and directives from state and federal officials and health experts evolve. 

The college's safety protocols include, but are not limited to:

  • As of March 14, 2022, per the Virginia Community College System, there is no requirement to wear a mask while inside buildings on community college campuses in Virginia. Those who wish to wear a mask over the nose and mouth are welcome to do so.

    The college will continue to provide free, disposable masks, including KN95 masks, which health experts say provide a greater level of protection. If you need or want a KN95 or other disposable mask, stop by the Security desk in the Nicholas Center (Chester Campus) or Administration Building (Midlothian Campus).

    Information on mask guidance may be found on the CDC website. 

  • The college encourages COVID-19 vaccines and boosters for all employees, students, and visitors to campus. Information about COVID where you can get COVID-19 and boosters in Virginia may be found on the Virginia Department of Health website.

    Note: As of January 15, 2022, the Commonwealth of Virginia no longer mandates COVID-19 vaccines for state employees and no longer requires weekly COVID-19 testing for state employees who are not vaccinated.

  • Plexiglass barriers have been installed and/or table-top barriers are in use in high-traffic areas service areas where face-to-face interactions need to frequently occur. Employees, students and others visiting these areas should respect these barriers and not lean around them or try to move or remove them.

  • The college follows guidelines and disinfects frequently touched surfaces and high traffic areas. In addition, hand-sanitizer dispensers have been placed throughout the college. 

  • Do not come to campus if you:

    • Are ill, regardless of symptoms
    • Have symptoms consistent with COVID-19
    • Have been tested for COVID-19 because you have symptoms and are awaiting results
    • Have recently been diagnosed with COVID-19, whether you have symptoms or not

    If you test positive for COVID-19, whether you have symptoms or not, or if you have symptoms and suspect you may have COVID-19 but do not yet have test results: 

    • Contact your health provider if needed.
    • Follow the guidance provided by the Virginia Department of Health (VDH). 

    If you are exposed to COVID-19, follow the guidance on the VDH website.

    COVID-19 positive cases and exposures do not need to be reported to the college, but staff in Human Resources and in the Dean of Students Office remain a resource for employees and students.

  • The college shares important health and safety information, as well as resource information, through the college website, emails, and other communications methods.

  • All contractors visiting and working at Brightpoint's campuses must follow the above safety protocols, as well as:

    • Check in with security at the primary security desks upon arriving on campus (Chester Campus – Nicholas Center; Midlothian Campus – Administration Building).
    • Review https://brightpoint.edu/about/covid-19/safety-protocols/ for any updated information on the college’s safety protocols.
    • Make contact with your contract representative or your point of contact to meet you in the lobby of the primary security desk of the respective campus. 
    • Remain in the general proximity of your work area or intended destination while on campus.
    • Sign out upon completion of the visit or assigned work (you will be escorted to the primary security desk to sign out).
