I’m feeling sick with respiratory illness symptoms; what should I do?

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).
• Once your symptoms are improving, take added precautions over the next 5 days, such as masking or physical distancing.
