Covid Reminders

RIC health services asks us to remember:

  • If a person feels sick they should stay home unless they test negative at home that morning.  If they test negative, they should continue to test daily and wear a mask while there are symptoms.
  • A student who tests positive should isolate for 5 days, more if symptoms persist. 
  • Masks are required on days 6-10 (after isolation) 

See https://www.ric.edu/department-directory/center-health-and-wellness/health-wellness-during-covid/covid-19 for more information. 

Please note: You do not have to test immediately if you've been in contact with someone with Covid. If you're a close contact, wear a mask for 10-days and test on Day 5 or if you develop symptoms. Thank you!
