Return to Campus

EXPOSURE:

Occupying space within 6 feet of a person or persons who test positive for COVID-19 for a sustained period of 15 minutes or more.

Exposure does not necessarily mean one becomes a “positive,” but rather signifies that isolation and testing will be needed.

SELF-ISOLATION or QUARANTINE:

A person who believes, or knows for certain, that they have been within 6 feet of a person who has tested positive for COVID-19 should immediately self-quarantine and watch for symptoms of the virus. You may be contagious and not have any symptoms.

Testing should be done no sooner than 7 days after exposure to ensure an accurate result. During this period of self-quarantine, you should not interact with others or leave your home except to seek medical care. To avoid spreading the virus, you should not interact with anyone living in your household until you receive a negative test result.

A positive test result requires you to remain in self-isolation for 14 days. Then you must be symptom free for three days before returning to campus.

Immediately notify your supervisor that you have been sent for testing. Your supervisor will notify HR, who will provide you with further guidance. Please note that it is not necessary for you to discuss your status with your coworkers -- HR and the IMT will work with you to identify any other employees or student workers that may have been in close contact with you and will provide guidance to them.

The supervisor and HR will work with the employee to determine when the exposure occurred and if the employee was in close contact with the person (6 feet for more than 15 minutes).

Depending on the circumstances, and because symptoms may not develop for several days after exposure, the employee may be required to self-quarantine for 14 days and monitor for symptoms.

The test results must be reported to HR.

If the test is negative, a second test with negative results may be required before the employee can return to campus.

Close contacts of the employee, including co-workers, do not require quarantine unless the employee later develops symptoms or tests positive.
