Students, Faculty, and Staff,
Thanks to the diligence of faculty, students, and staff we continue to see relatively low COVID-19 numbers on campus. It is however, critically important that we all stay vigilant, particularly in monitoring our own personal health and taking personal precautions such as wearing masks.
According to the CDC, COVID-19 symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. If you are displaying any symptoms potentially related to COVID-19, you should isolate and contact the Wellness Center or your healthcare provider as soon as possible.
These symptoms include THE ONSET OF NEW SYMPTOMS of one or more of the following:
- Cough
- Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
- Fever – 100.4° and above
- Chills
- Runny nose or new sinus congestion
- Muscle pain
- Headache
- Sore throat
- Fatigue

This list does not include all possible symptoms. Other less common symptoms have been reported, including gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea, vomiting or diarrhea.
