Students, faculty, and staff should contact their home campus via the designated reporting system and follow all CDC guidance on isolation and other precautions. Seek care from a primary care provider, as needed.
Individuals who are positive for COVID-19 should notify those with whom they have been in close contact in the 2 days prior to testing positive or first symptoms occurred. A close contact is someone who was less than 6 feet away from an individual with COVID-19, for a cumulative total of 15 minutes or more over a 24 hours period (masked or unmasked). Contact tracing may be supplemented by home campuses in some cases.
Students should make arrangements with their instructors to continue their academic work while isolating (if feeling well enough), or to make up academic work due to absences while isolating.
USG staff are to report positive cases to return.umd.edu and follow the same instructions above regarding isolation and notification of close contacts.
