If a student gets COVID-19

►

A COVID-19 positive student will be expected to go home, if reasonable to do so (travel, vulnerable people at home).

►

If unable to go home, a quarantine space and appropriate support will be provided to students living in university-provided housing.

►

For off-campus students (sororities and apartments/houses), students will need to quarantine at their home or chapter-provided housing.

If there’s a campus “outbreak” of COVID-19

►

McLean County Health Department uses a pretty small number to describe an “outbreak” - 2 closely related cases.

►

Work with McLean County Health Department to determine appropriate actions which may include:

►

Restricting an activity (like a class, sport, or other experience)

►

Closing a particular campus area (like a residence hall)

►

Limiting in-person activities (like classes or other social events)

►

Closing the campus, as appropriate

If our region moves back to Phase 3/Restore Illinois

►

Higher education is not permitted to provide in-person instruction in Phase 3, in accordance with guidance provided now.

►

The status of housing will be determined based on the timing and other health factors.

►

Campus housing will be provided to students who are unable to return home, with appropriate approvals.
