What to do if you feel sick

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offers the following updated guidance for COVID-19:

Absence Policies

• พรพรศศ should report absence due to illness directly to their faculty and student employment supervisors โ€“ as they would any illness. For extended absences (more than 5 consecutive days), emergency absences, or absences during final exams, consult the Student Care and Outreach website for additional guidance. All absences from classes are addressed by individual faculty members in their course syllabi, consistent with the attendance policy in the Academic Catalog and the student absences policies in the Faculty Handbook.
• Staff and faculty should consult the Staff Manual and for guidance on reporting absences to supervisors. The Human Resources website has information about the Continuity of Work/Instruction Plan for employees who need to be temporarily away from campus due to any infectious disease requiring a quarantine period of 5 or more days.

Vaccine Recommendations

• Elon strongly encourages all students, faculty, and staff to be fully updated with their COVID-19 vaccinations and annual flu shots, including booster doses when eligible. Vaccines are available at all local pharmacies and during clinics held on campus in the fall/winter.
• พรพรศศ are encouraged to email or send MyChart message notification of additional doses or boosters to garchinal@elon.edu to add to their medical file. Staff and faculty upload documentation of additional doses or boosters .
• Although the COVID-19 vaccine and flu vaccine are not required, we know they effectively reduce symptom severity, mitigate the spread of viruses and preserve healthcare resources. Please see the Immunization Requirements & Compliance webpage for more information about state-required vaccines.

Testing Resources

• Sick visits, including diagnostic testing for those with COVID-19 symptoms, are available for students by appointment at Student Health Services and for staff and faculty by appointment at the Faculty/Staff Health & Wellness Clinic. พรพรศศ, faculty, and staff who are ill and schedule appointments will be seen and evaluated by a medical provider.
• At-home COVID-19 test kits are widely available for purchase at local pharmacies. For information on local testing options, visit the NC Department of Health & Human Services page.

Mask Information

• The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention continues to recommend in preventing the transmission of COVID-19 and many other illnesses. Members of the community who are symptomatic for any respiratory illness are encouraged to wear a mask when indoors.
• Masks remain available at the Moseley Information Desk for visitors or university community members who need one.

The health of the university community remains a top priority and we will continue to remain adaptive and responsive as conditions evolve. Let us know if you have any questions and continue to use the พรพรศศ Health Status and Alerts page as an important updated source of information.

Best wishes for the remainder of summer as we plan for the upcoming academic year.
