Positive test? Follow these isolation guidelines.
A recent update from the Centers for Disease Control has adjusted isolation guidance for all individuals who have tested positive for COVID-19. This guidance should be followed by all Huskers — students, faculty and staff — during the spring semester.
If you test positive:
• Stay home, mask and monitor for at least five full days — with that count starting on the first full day AFTER a positive test or when symptoms started.
• If you start out asymptomatic and symptoms begin within the five full-day isolation period, restart the count. The first full day AFTER symptoms start is your new Day 1.
• By Day 6, if you've had no fever for 24 hours and your symptoms are gone or getting better, then you can leave your house and return to regular activities (fully masked).
• By Day 6, if you have a fever, continue to stay home until the fever is gone and symptoms improve.
• Regardless of fever status, continue to wear a mask when around others for at least five more days (that would be 10 total days after the positive test or symptoms started)
• On Day 10, if you have no fever or symptoms, it will be the last day for masking around others.
• If fever or symptoms continue on Day 10, continue to mask until fever is gone.
Additional isolation guidance
• Give space to people who live with you.
• Do not host visitors.
• Stay in a separate part of the home if possible and use a different restroom if you can.
• Wear a mask over your mouth and nose for 10 days — especially if you are living with others.
• Wash your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds each time.
• Clean all “high touch” surfaces — Wipe down and sanitize all shared spaces often.
• Watch for symptoms of COVID-19.
