Once symptoms have been improving for 24 hours AND you have been fever-free for at least 24 hours without the use of medication, you may return to class and/or work. Once you return to class and/or work you must wear a mask for the next five (5) days when around others.
COVID Exposure: Test five days after date of last exposure, or sooner if symptomatic.
COVID Testing for Students: Students who are symptomatic or have been exposed to someone with COVID can call 910-962-3280 to make an appointment for a COVID test. COVID tests are $5.
Testing for Faculty and Staff: We encourage faculty and staff who are symptomatic to contact their primary care physician for testing.
