CDC Self-Care for Coronavirus

Centers for Disease Control & Prevention provides guidance for those who either test positive, have symptoms, or have been a close contact of someone who has tested positive for COVID-19.

How Student Health Services Can Help

If you are ill, you should test for COVID-19. You can use a home test kit available at pharmacies and on-campus sites. You can also contact Student Health Services for an appointment. If you test positive, and have an underlying medical condition that puts you at higher risk for experiencing a severe outcome of COVID-19, please contact your health care provider or Student Health Services to learn about treatment options.

If you have been exposed to COVID-19 and do not have symptoms:

Wear a mask as soon as you find out you were exposed and continue for 10 days,
Avoid public places where you are unable to wear masks,
Test yourself 5 days after your last exposure,
And test anytime you develop symptoms.

If you have symptoms and test negative with a home antigen test, you should repeat a rapid home antigen test in 48 hours. You can also contact Student Health Services for an appointment for evaluation and testing if you become ill.

In addition to in-person services at our new facility, which includes an on-site pharmacy, Student Health Services continues to offer telehealth visits to students when needed.
