Guidelines for COVID-19 and Other Respiratory Viruses
On March 1, 2024, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) updated and simplified recommendations for preventing the spread of COVID-19, influenza, RSV and other respiratory viruses.
In order to protect yourself and others, the CDC recommends the following for individuals experiencing respiratory viruses:
- Stay home and away from others when ill. Treatments may be available for individuals experiencing COVID-19 or flu symptoms.
- Return to normal activities only after symptoms improve for at least 24 hours. If fever was present, it should be gone for 24 hours without medication before returning.
Once you return to normal activities, the following prevention strategies are recommended for at least five days:
- Improve indoor air quality and ventilation when possible.
- Practice proper hygiene by covering coughs and sneezes, washing hands frequently and cleaning commonly touched surfaces.
- Wear a well-fitting mask.
OLLU Protocols
The following protocols should be followed by students, faculty and staff who are ill with a respiratory virus such as COVID-19, influenza or RSV.
Residential Students: Must submit a Self-Report Form when ill with a respiratory virus.
Athletes: No longer have to submit a Self-Report Form unless they live in a residence hall, but they must notify professors and coaches.
