COVID ISOLATION REQUIREMENTS

All students and employees who become ill with COVID are asked to remain off campus during their illness.  The isolation period is calculated as follows:  The day that you first feel symptoms of illness with COVID is day zero.  The next day is day 1, and the day after that is day 2, and so on.  You must remain off campus through day 5, and you can return on day 6 if you no longer have symptoms of illness.  If you are still sick on day 6, continue to remain out until your symptoms have significantly improved.  The day you take a COVID test and the day you get the results are not relevant when basing your isolation period on the day your symptoms began.

If you have no symptoms of illness, but test positive for COVID, then the day you took the COVID test is day zero, and you can return on day 6.  Again, the day you receive your results is not relevant to the calculation.

We no longer require students or employees to report all cases of COVID to a COVID Response Administrator.  Instead, COVID should be reported to your supervisor or instructor.

The College adheres to the most current CDC guidelines which can be found at:  https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/your-health/isolation.html

If you have questions about COVID, you can contact Tom Gilliam at (850) 484-1500 or by email at tgilliam@pensacolastate.edu.
