The Health and Safety Task Force continues to monitor the College’s ongoing response to COVID-19 and other infectious diseases such as Monkeypox. We are proud to share that we currently have no known cases of COVID and the transmission rates in Guilford County have been low for several weeks.
We continue to operate in Phase 5 of our activity matrix. In this phase, masking inside remains optional, although certain spaces may still require masking. Please continue to carry a mask with you at all times should you be requested to wear one in a particular classroom or other private space.
If you feel sick with COVID symptoms, please mask up, stay home, and obtain a COVID test from Student Health or Public Safety, if you do not have a home test readily available. If you test positive, you should:
- Isolate for five days and then wear a mask for five additional days.
- Students should notify studenthealth@guilford.edu and faculty/staff should notify their supervisors and share with covidscreening@guilford.edu about their positive test results.
On Wednesday, Nov. 16, Guilford will host a COVID booster clinic from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Founders Hall (West Gallery, second floor). Both the Pfizer & Moderna bivalent will be available to staff and students, and you must specify which one you prefer when signing up at this link.
We remain committed to keeping our community informed about any potential health threats to campus. Please continue to exercise caution and good judgment as you celebrate Thanksgiving with family and friends.
Sincerely,
The Health and Safety Task Force
