Personal Health Assessments
All students, employees, and visitors are responsible for personally assessing their own health and possible exposure to the virus causing COVID-19 each day they are coming to campus. This includes a recommendation that each individual considers whether they have experienced COVID-related symptoms including:
- Fever (temperature check kiosks are available on campus in the Library, Main Building lobby, A&S lobby)
- Chronic Cough
- Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
- Chills
- Muscle pain
- Sore throat
- Loss of taste or smell
This list is not all possible symptoms. Other less common symptoms have been reported, including gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. If you exhibit COVID-related symptoms, or have been in close contact with someone who may have COVID-19, you should immediately contact your healthcare provider and/or the Washington County Health Department by telephone (740-374-2782), and avoid contact with other individuals.
Employees experiencing COVID-related symptoms should follow the COVID guidelines and notify their supervisor of their absence in accordance with WSCO procedures.
Students with symptoms should follow the COVID guidelines and refrain from attending in-person classes, academic events, or other activities. Students should contact their instructors for Canvas accommodations if they show symptoms of COVID 19.
