Following updated guidance from the Centers for Disease Control, anyone—student, faculty, or staff—who tests positive for COVID-19 should isolate at home or in their dorm room unless/until they have been fever free for at least 24 hours without the aid of medications and their symptoms are improving. It is no longer necessary to isolate for five days after testing positive if you are not experiencing fever or worsening symptoms. Anyone who tests positive should continue to wear a high-quality mask and practice physical distancing for a five-day period, even if they are symptom free.
Faculty and staff who test positive and are unable to work remotely while isolating should contact
