Is there a different course of action for those with vaccines and those without?
Please note: per the CDC, up to date means:
- A person has received all recommended COVID-19 vaccines, including any booster dose(s) when eligible.
- Has vaccinations within 5 months of Pfizer and Moderna or 2 months of Johnson and Johnson OR if longer than that they had received a booster.
Individuals who come into close contact with someone with COVID-19 who are vaccinated and up to date with vaccinations should follow these guidelines:
- No quarantine needed, but a well-fitted mask must be worn for a full 10 days with mask removal for sleeping and eating only OR if you are alone. Test on day five regardless of symptoms. Test anytime that symptoms develop. Students are allowed to stay in their regular dorm room for the full 10 days. If at any time a student tests positive, they need to call the COVID response team to report their positive test.
Individuals who come into close contact with someone with COVID-19 who are not fully vaccinated and / or are not up to date with vaccinations should follow these guidelines:
- Students must quarantine in a quarantine dorm room for five days. Test on Day 5 regardless of symptoms. Test anytime that symptoms develop. On days 6 to 10, students will still need to sleep and eat in their quarantine dorm. Wear a well-fitted mask for a full 10 days with mask removal for sleeping and eating only OR if you are alone. If at any time a student tests positive, they need to call the COVID response team to report their positive test. Those who are not fully vaccinated and a close contact should call the COVID response team to report and confirm their quarantine plan.
