CDC is shortening the recommended time for isolation for people with COVID-19 to five days. If the individual is asymptomatic or their systems are resolving (without a fever for 24 hours), CDC is recommending individuals to wear a mask for five days when around others to minimize the risk of infection.

​

We are asking our students to stay home if they're sick or revealing any flu-like or COVID-19 symptoms. Every student is asked to isolate if they're not feeling well, and we encourage they take the necessary steps to seek medical assistance immediately.

​

Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the coronavirus. If you show any of the symptoms below, it is encourage you stay home and contact your instructor:

​

• Fever or chills

• Cough

• Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing

• Fatigue

• Muscle or body aches

• Headaches

• New loss of taste or smell

• Sore throat

• Congestion or runny nose

• Nausea or severe vomiting

• Severe cases of diarrhea

​

If you have been in contact with a person who tested positive for COVID-19 — isolate and do not enter the classroom.
