IMPORTANT...
If your body temperature is at or above 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit (38.0 degrees Celsius), and/or you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed above, please contact your healthcare provider via phone first. Please do not come to campus until a physician issues a certificate of clearance regarding COVID-19.
Only temperatures above 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit (38.0 degrees Celsius) will be recorded and stored in the employee confidential medical file.
An employee sent home with a fever and/or other symptoms can return to work when:
1. He or she has had no fever for at least 24 hours without taking medication to reduce fever during that time; AND
2. Any symptoms (cough, shortness of breath, other symptoms) have improved, AND
3. At least ten days have passed since symptoms began.
The employee may return to work earlier if a doctor confirms the cause of the employee's fever or other symptoms is not COVID-19, and provides a written release for the employee to return to work.
If you are experiencing symptoms, or have been in direct contact with someone diagnosed with COVID-19, or had COVID-19 symptoms, please contact Human Resources at
