COVID-19 is now grouped together with other common respiratory viral illnesses, including Influenza and Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection (RSV).

If you test positive for COVID, or have another respiratory viral illness the CDC recommends you stay home until your symptoms improve and you have not had a fever for at least 24 hours (without taking fever reducing medication). You should also keep a distance from others, wear a tight fitting mask, and practice enhanced hand hygiene.

There is no longer a need to report a positive COVID test to the university. If you have any questions, please contact our health team.
