COVID-19 Employee Information
As of March 1, 2024, the CDC has removed the isolation period for COVID-19. Under the updated Respiratory Virus Guidance, it is recommended that employees with a respiratory illness, including COVID-19, stay home and away from others until at least 24 hours after both their symptoms are getting better overall, and they have not had a fever (and are not using fever-reducing medication). Employees are encouraged to take additional precautions, including wearing a well-fitting mask and keeping a distance from others, for five days after this stay-at-home period. Please note, there are different requirements for healthcare settings.
Please continue to monitor our website and your campus email for future updates.
