  • Though we have identified isolation and quarantine spaces on campus, in most cases, students who test positive for COVID-19 may be asked to isolate at home, away from campus, in order to best support their recovery and ensure limiting exposure to others on campus.
  • Isolation:
    1. Students who show symptoms or have tested positive for COVID-19 should isolate themselves immediately and contact Health Services the COVID-19 Hotline (651.635.8500) to determine whether or not to get tested..
    2. In the event of a positive COVID-19 test, students must isolate until isolate for a minimum of 10 days after symptom onset and until they are fever fever-free for three consecutive days without 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication, and ten days since the onset of symptomsmedications.
  • Quarantine
    1. Students must quarantine for 14 days if they have been in close contact with someone who has been diagnosed with COVID-19 (clinical diagnosis or test-confirmed).
    2. Close contact is defined as being with the infected person for 15 minutes or more at less than 6 feet distance. All other contact is considered indirect and does not necessitate being quarantined.
    Reporting:
    1. When a student has been in close contact with someone with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 (clinical diagnosis or test-confirmed), they must quarantine for 14 days. If a student is showing symptoms of COVID-19, they should get tested.Students can leave quarantine after day 10 if they test on day 7 and receive a negative result.
