What if I test positive for Covid-19 or are sick and suspect I have Covid-19?

The Centers for Disease control recommends that you should isolate yourself from others when you have Covid-19 and do the following:

• Isolate yourself if you are sick and suspect that you have Covid-19, 但还没有测试结果. 
• If you had no symptoms, you can end isolation after day 5
  • (Note: Day 1 is the first full day following the day you were tested)
• 如果你有(或曾经有)症状, you may end isolation after day 5 if you are fever free for 24 hours (without the use of fever-reducing medication) and/or your other symptoms have improved. 
• A high-quality mask should be worn when outside of isolation through day 10. 
• Avoid being around people who are more likely to get very sick from Covid-19 until at least day 11. 
• 查看CDC的完整建议 什么时候结束孤立.

如果我接触到Covid-19怎么办?

• The Centers for Disease Control no longer recommends quarantining if you are exposed and have no symptoms, 无论疫苗接种状况如何. 
• 一旦你发现你被暴露了, you should wear a high-quality mask any time you are around others inside your home or indoors in public for up to 10 days after you have been exposed. 
  • (Note: Day 1 is the first full day following the last exposure) 
• 注意Covid-19的症状. 
  • 如果出现症状，你应该遵循 isolation guidelines. 
• If possible, get tested at least 5 full days after your last exposure.

I'm feeling sick or I think I may have been exposed to Covid-19. 我在校园里哪里可以做检查?

Health services are available for students, staff and faculty Monday - Friday 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. at the Health & Counseling Center provided through our partnership with Ascension. 

Students, faculty, and staff who are sick, experiencing Covid-19 symptoms can call the HCC at (512) 324-4940 or 网上预约. This will be charged through your insurance carrier; typically, 这个测试是免费的.

Are students required to have health insurance?

学生的健康是成功的关键. This statement is even more critical during a pandemic. As such, the university will continue to require that all registered students (enrolled in 6 or more hours) have health insurance. Students are automatically enrolled in the university's health insurance unless they successfully complete the waiver process documenting a private healthcare plan. Learn more about SHIP.
