COVID-19 Protocol
- In keeping with updated guidance from the CDC released on March 1, 2024, COVID-19 will be treated as other respiratory viruses such as influenza and RSV.
- If testing positive for COVID-19, stay home from school or work until feeling better and fever-free for 24 hours (without the use of fever-reducing medications). Then, for an additional five days, you should still wear a well-fitting mask, keep distance from others, and use enhanced hygiene practices.
- Students must test positive at Student Health Services (SHS) to receive a Notice of Absence for the number of days recommended to be out of classes due to fever. COVID-19 tests at SHS cost $10 billed to the student account.
- We recommend students stay up to date on COVID-19 vaccinations for infection prevention.
If you have questions, please call SHS at 630-752-5072 or email student.health.services@wheaton.edu.
