COVID-19 Information for Employees

Beginning Monday, March 14, mask requirements for all persons outside of a classroom, while still recommended, becomes optional. Current small office spaces with student/visitor traffic that have “masks required” signs such as in McDowell, can maintain this requirement if desired. All classrooms/instructional spaces require that students to wear a mask (faculty can wear a mask or face shield) through May 2.

If you are not vaccinated, you need to wear a mask at all times in a classroom through May 2. Other than a classroom, you must wear a mask while indoors until March 14.

For questions regarding COVID-19 please email [email protected] or call 734-462-4408.

  • If you are sick, don’t come to work – please stay home.
  • If you are unvaccinated, YOU MUST wear a face covering indoors.
  • If you are fully vaccinated, which is defined as two weeks after your last dose, you do not have to wear a face covering (nose and mouth) while in the hallways or open areas in buildings. However, until further notice, face coverings must be worn by all when students are present, regardless of vaccination status,
    • In all in-person classroom settings
    • In the Testing Center and the Learning Center
    • In private offices if so requested

The CDC is shortening the recommended time for isolation for the public. People with COVID-19 should isolate for 5 days and if they are asymptomatic or their symptoms are resolving (without fever for 24 hours), follow that by 5 days of wearing a mask when around others to minimize the risk of infecting people they encounter. This change is motivated by science demonstrating that the majority of SARS-CoV-2 transmission occurs early in the course of illness, generally in the 1-2 days prior to onset of symptoms and the 2-3 days after.

If You Test Positive for COVID-19 (Isolate)

Whether vaccinated or unvaccinated, you must report this to [email protected] who will advise on the isolation period but generally:

Everyone, regardless of vaccination status.

  • Stay home for 5 days.
  • If you have no symptoms or your symptoms are resolving after 5 days, you can leave your house.
  • Continue to wear a mask around others for 5 additional days.

If you have a fever, continue to stay home until your fever resolves.
