Any individual who tests positive (regardless of vaccination status) must isolate in their room/apartment for a minimum of five full days from the positive test or the onset of symptoms. Asymptomatic individuals may return to campus after five days of isolation. Symptomatic individuals may return after 5 days when they have seen sustained improvement of symptoms day-to-day and they have been fever-free for more than 24 hours. Even after the period of isolation, all individuals will be required to wear masks at all times when around others until they are 10 days from the positive test or the onset of symptoms. After 10 days, all individuals can return to campus unless they are not feeling well enough to do so. If a student does not improve or worsens at any point during the first 5 days of isolation, they should remain isolated and seek additional health guidance by contacting Health Center at 610-526-7360.
- Isolating students may wear a high-quality mask and go outside for a small portion of each day to retrieve food or medicine/medical care as needed.
- Students are free to leave their isolation on the morning of the 6th day after their positive test or start of symptoms, whichever is first. They should continue to wear a mask until day 10.
- Any questions after the Health Center is closed, should be deposited with Team Health at 610-517-4921 and someone from Medical Services will follow up the next business day.
- Students experiencing an urgent health concern or health emergency should contact Campus Safety immediately at 610-526-7911 for immediate assistance.
