As we begin the second semester, we expect illnesses, including COVID and flu, to increase on campus. Please remember the following in order to keep yourself and those around you healthy:
- Get your COVID and Flu vaccines (if you haven't already)
- Stay home if you are sick.
- If you are ill but must go out, please wear a high-quality mask to protect yourself and those around you.
- Test for COVID. Free COVID at-home tests on campus will expire soon. Place your order now to get FREE tests from the State of MN and/or Federal Government mailed to you. For students, COVID tests are available to Counseling & Health Services with an appointment.
- If you test positive for COVID, report it with the Student COVID Self-Report Form or Employee Self-Report Form in order to get instructions on what to do next.
- If you are exposed to COVID, wear a mask and test for COVID if you have symptoms or 5 days after exposure to COVID.
- Use the CDC COVID calculator if you have COVID or are exposed to COVID.
- Visit hamline.edu/covid-19 for more information.
Thank you for all you do to keep the Hamline community healthy!
