- You may receive a call from a contact tracer to inform you you’ve been exposed. You can also self-identify exposure to your RA or Redfern Health Center.
- If you live in on-campus housing, you can move to designated quarantine housing. In some cases, it may be appropriate for individuals to quarantine in their residence. View Housing's Isolation and Quarantine Checklist to start gathering items you'll need.
- If you previously tested positive for COVID-19 in the 90 days prior to this exposure, you will not be required to quarantine. You must be able to provide proof in the form of a verifiable laboratory report.
- If quarantine is required, academic instructors should be notified of absence through the Notification of Absence system.
- Bridge to Clemson students should contact their instructors regarding assignments.
- Clearance from Redfern is required to receive clearance to return to campus activities.
Employees
Should you receive a call from a contact tracer to inform you you’ve been exposed or you know you have had contact with someone who has tested positive, please contact your supervisor and the Sullivan Center (864) 656-3076.
Following are the recommendations from the CDC:
- Stay home. Exposure is managed with quarantine for 10 days. However, if you are asymptomatic for seven days and you receive a negative COVID test result on the seventh day (having been tested on the sixth day), you may be released from quarantine on the eighth day. You should continue to monitor for symptoms for 14 days.
- Watch for fever (100.4◦F), cough, shortness of breath, or other symptoms of COVID-19.
- If possible, stay away from others, especially people who are at higher risk for getting very sick from COVID-19.
