而LR不再需要疫苗, we strongly encourage all members of our community to get vaccinated and stay current with boosters. The vaccine has been shown to be safe and effective at preventing severe illness and hospitalization, 它是结束大流行的一个重要工具.

Residential students who test positive are required to return home for their required isolation. We may be able to provide some temporary housing for those students who test positive, 但住在离校园更远的地方.

We also will provide quarantine rooms on a limited basis for those residential students who are exposed to the virus, 但他们没有及时接种COVID-19疫苗.

Why did LR switch from required to strongly recommended for students, faculty and staff?

We consult with local, 地区和州公共卫生官员, 包括卡托巴县卫生局和N.C. 国家卫生与公众服务部, 并审查了最新的疾病控制中心指南. 他们都支持将疫苗从要求改为强烈推荐. The national public health emergency around COVID-19 also officially ended in the United States on May 11, 2023. 

如果COVID形势发生重大变化怎么办? 你需要疫苗、检测还是口罩?

We will continue to monitor COVID-19 on campus and nationally to determine if changes are required. 正如全球网赌十大网站自大流行开始以来所做的那样, 全球网赌十大网站将根据当地的反馈做出基于数据的决策, state and regional public health departments and guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control.

如果我的COVID-19检测呈阳性会发生什么?

任何COVID-19检测呈阳性的人, 无论疫苗接种状况如何, 必须坚持以下几点:

• 在家隔离至少5天，如果在家有人，请戴上口罩.
• 如果没有症状，可以在5天后结束隔离, 或者你的症状已经消失，没有发烧了.
• Continue to wear a mask indoors and outdoors when around others for 5 additional days.
• 您的医疗保健提供者必须批准您返回课堂和活动. You may also be approved to return if seen by Cornerstone Health on campus or by telehealth. 书面放行必须提供给:

如果我接触了COVID-19会发生什么?

Anyone who has been exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 must adhere to the following, 根据你的疫苗状况:

• No quarantine if fully boosted or fully vaccinated and are not yet eligible for the booster vaccine. 你只需戴上口罩10天，第5天进行快速检测. If you develop symptoms, get a COVID-19 test and remain at home until you know the results.
• 如果未接种疫苗或未完全“更新”,” you are required to quarantine at home for 5 days and wear a mask for an additional 5 days. You may exit quarantine when testing negative on day 5 and continue to be without symptoms. 如果测试呈阳性，则遵循上述隔离协议.
• However, in a case where one is living every day (not just a brief encounter) in the same residence with family members/roommates and one or more are/become infected with COVID-19, 全球网赌十大网站需要采取额外的预防措施. People who are exposed in this situation should wear a mask and test daily for five days. They should work with their supervisor to determine any additional steps to take based on their specific circumstances.

Note: The CDC defines “up to date” as having all vaccines and boosters for which a person is eligible. 

如果我检测呈阳性或接触过COVID，我需要告诉任何人吗?

Yes. To help us monitor COVID on campus, please report a positive test or exposure to the following:
