Everyone, regardless of vaccination status:

- Stay home for 5 days post-positive test for ON CAMPUS ACTIVITIES (on campus clinical/EISLE lab and/or classroom experiences) (Ex. I tested positive on 1/1/22. I need to stay home through at least 1/6/22).
- If you have a fever or no resolution of symptoms, continue to stay home until your fever goes away without the use of anti-pyretics (ex. Tylenol/Advil) and symptoms improve regardless of days since testing positive.
- If you tested positive off campus, immediately go to go.unc.edu/covidpositive to report your positive results.
- Campus Health should send you a University Approved Absence (UAA)
