Per March 2024 updated WA DOH and CDC guidelines, 5 day isolation is no longer required after testing positive for COVID-19. If you test positive for COVID-19 or are experiencing symptoms of any other illness not better explained by another cause (such as allergies), please remain at home or in your housing assignment until your symptoms are improving and you have had no fever, vomiting, or diarrhea for 24 hours without use of fever-reducing medication. You may resume normal activities on campus (work, classes, etc) when your symptoms are improving and you feel well enough to participate in normal activities. Wear a well-fitting, high-quality mask for the first five days after your return.
Students: Please wear a well-fitting mask when picking up to-go meals on campus if you are ill. It is the student's responsibility to notify professors of any missed class due to illness. Positive COVID-19 tests should be reported to Health Services at 206-281-2231 for tracking with our local Health Department.
