Covid-19 Policy for Positive Cases

Employees and ÐÔ°®ÌìÌà who test positive for COVID-19 should follow the CDC Guidelines regarding preventing the spread of respiratory viruses, which states:

Go back to your normal activities when, for at least 24 hours, both are true:

• Your symptoms are getting better overall, and
• You have not had a fever (and are not using fever-reducing medication)

Full CDC guidance is available here: 

Students and employees working in a healthcare setting must follow the policies of the specific settings in which they are currently working or interning.

CDC guidance for healthcare personnel, including ÐÔ°®ÌìÌà in field practice is available here: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/infection-control-recommendations.html

When experiencing any illness or other need to be absent, employees should communicate with their supervisor or dean and ÐÔ°®ÌìÌà should communicate with their faculty.
