COVID Next StepWhat you should do if...

What if I Test Positive for COVID-19

Review the CDC websiteto help you determine next steps. 

The Health Service encourages rest, fluids and use of over the counter medications to help manage your symptoms. If you have underlying health conditions, please be sure to tell your provider so they can discuss additional management options. At a minimum, you should remain out of classes and work until you are fever free for 24 hours without the use and any fever reducing medications (such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen) and symptoms are improving.

We strongly encourage you to inform your close contacts and to wear a mask while you have symptoms.

What if I have had an Exposure - COVID Close Contact

If you have had a known exposure to a person who tested positive for COVID-19, being within 6 feet of the person for 15 minutes or more within 24 hours, follow these steps from the CDC website.
