If you have tested positive for COVID-19, you are required to report your positive diagnosis using this form or by scanning this QR code:
- Stay home if you have COVID-19 symptoms. Return to school/work when you are fever-free for at least 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medications and all other symptoms have improved.
- If you do not have symptoms, you should follow the recommended actions below to reduce exposure to others.
- Workers in a healthcare setting are subject to following the guidelines in AFL 21-05 per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines.
- Take added precautions such as taking additional steps for cleaner air, hygiene, masks, physical distancing, and/or testing.
- Seek Treatment. If you have symptoms, particularly if you are at higher risk for severe COVID-19, speak with a healthcare provider as soon as you test positive. Students may contact UCM Student Health Services. You may be eligible for antiviral medicines or other treatments for COVID-19. COVID-19 antiviral medicines work best if taken as soon as possible, ideally within 5-7 days from when symptoms first appear.
- If you are uninsured or have trouble reaching a health care provider quickly, Sesame Care is a telehealth option that helps you talk with a health care provider at a low cost.
*The potential infectious period is 2 days before the symptom onset date or the positive test date (if no symptoms) through Day 10. (Day 0 is the symptom onset date or positive test date).
