Checklists for Students
- Continue to stay home if sick: If you test positive for COVID-19, you are encouraged to stay home if you are experiencing symptoms such as fever, chills, fatigue, cough and other known respiratory virus symptoms.
- No longer mandated to isolate: Those with COVID-19 are no longer required to isolate for five days. Instead, according to the New York State Department of Health, “individuals can go back to normal activities when, for at least 24 hours, both of the following are true:
- symptoms are getting better overall, and
- they no longer have a fever without the use of fever-reducing medication.”
- No longer required to report a positive test: Students who test positive for COVID-19 are no longer required to report that positive test to the Barnes Center.
