If you have respiratory symptoms (fever, coughing, sore throat, etc.), whether from COVID-19 or another virus, please take these steps:
- Isolate in place and stay in your room – avoid close contact with others until symptoms improve and no fever is present for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing meds.
- Wear a mask when you must be around others (free masks are available at your community center and the University Unions).
- Seek medical attention or advice if needed (students should contact UHS and employees should contact their primary care physician) .
- Order well-being meals from Michigan Dining.
- Once your symptoms are improving, take added precautions over the next 5 days, such as masking or physical distancing.
- Talk to your roommate about how you are feeling and what precautions you can take, like offering to mask in your room (except when sleeping), increasing hand hygiene, distancing, or similar actions.
- If your roommate has concerns about their exposure or risk factors, they can employ similar precautions, such as masking, and they may contact UHS for medical advice.
