CVCC Steps for On-Campus Student with Positive COVID-19 Test, Direct COVID-19 Exposure, or COVID-19 Symptoms:

Student notifies instructor of:
1. a positive COVID-19 test,
2. direct COVID-19 exposure OR COVID-19 symptoms (if unvaccinated), direct COVID-19 exposure AND COVID-19 symptoms (if vaccinated),
3. A student awaiting test results should not be on campus per the Student Health Safety agreement.
Instructor notifies the off-site center director or division AVP (Wallin or Ferguson)
Instructor, site director, or AVP secures the following required information from the student:
1. Date of onset of symptoms, if applicable
2. Date of COVID-19 test, if applicable
3. Date of COVID-19 test result, if applicable
4. Last date the student was on the CVCC campus
5. Rooms and offices accessed by COVID-19 positive student during last date on campus
6. Advises student to prepare a list of any close contacts. For COVID-19, a close contact is defined as any individual who was within 6 feet of an infected person for at least 15 cumulative minutes starting from 2 days before illness onset (or, for asymptomatic patients, 2 days prior to positive specimen collection) until the time the patient is isolated (CDC, 2020). If in doubt about whether the interaction qualifies as close contact, err on the side of caution and include in the list.
