If You Have Possible COVID Symptoms

Stay home from work and let your supervisor know that you are off sick. If you are feeling well enough and it is possible with your job, you may arrange with your supervisor to work from home.

Take a COVID rapid test three times at 24-hour intervals, stopping testing if you test positive. If you test negative all three times AND if you have no fever and your symptoms have been improving for 24 hours, you may return to campus. If you test positive, you will need to isolate for 5 days after the onset of symptoms (or of the test date if you are asymptomatic) AND until you have no fever and your symptoms have been improving for 24 hours. 

If you need more than 5 days of sick leave, we will require a medical note stating that you cannot work and the anticipated time frame that you will be off work. Please send the note directly to Employee Health and Wellness in Human Resources
