PUBLIC HEALTH UPDATES

Be in the know
Have symptoms of COVID-19? Even if you think it’s just a cold or allergies, best be on the safe side and follow the COVID-19 Protocol in consideration of all Bobcats and in accordance with the Presidential Health Directives.

Use a liaison
If you test positive, experience symptoms, or are exposed to COVID-19, your first step is to contact COVID Operations. What happens next? A COVID Campus Liaison will follow up with information and resources to support you while you are affected.

Get the best care
If you receive an email or text asking you to participate in text-based symptom monitoring, please opt in. This will expedite COVID Operations' ability to care for you and other Bobcats.
