College students may have extra challenges when they have COVID-19 or believe they were exposed to it. They may live with roommates, attend classes, work a job, or participate in campus activities. This action plan gives students simple steps for managing a possible COVID related situation while staying organized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 1: Recognize a Possible COVID-19 Situation<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pay attention to possible COVID-19 symptoms or a recent exposure. Consider using a COVID-19 test and check current instructions from a trusted health source. Contact a healthcare professional if you have health questions or serious symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: Protect the People Around You<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Avoid close contact with other people when experiencing symptoms. Tell roommates that you may be sick, improve airflow when possible, and avoid sharing personal items. A mask may also help reduce the spread of the illness around other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 3: Communicate With Professors and Employers<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Contact professors or employers as soon as possible if a COVID-related situation may affect attendance, assignments, or work shifts. Keep the message short and honest. Ask what steps are required to make up missed responsibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 4: Use Trusted COVID-19 Resources<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Check information from the CDC, World Health Organization, Virginia Department of Health, or a healthcare professional. Avoid depending only on social media because health information found there may be incorrect or outdated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
