Self-Quarantine Guidelines

Current University protocols require that if you are exposed to COVID-19, you must quarantine for the recommended duration. However, CDC guidelines outline specific criteria for vaccinated employees that would remove the requirement to quarantine. You are not required to quarantine only if all of the following are true:

More than two weeks have passed following receipt of your last dose in the COVID-19 vaccine series.
Less than three months have passed following receipt of your last dose in the COVID-19 vaccine series.
You have remained asymptomatic since the exposure.

WHAT IS SELF-QUARANTINE?

Self-quarantine means avoiding situations where you could infect other people.
When you are exposed to an illness, there is the time between exposure and when you start to feel sick. During this time there is a chance you can spread germs.
If you have symptoms, contact your provider or call Campus Health at 520-621-9202

HOW DO I SELF-QUARANTINE?

Stay at Home

Stay home, except for getting medical care
Do not go to work, school, events, parties, stores, or any public areas
Do not use rideshares, taxis, or public transportation until you're released from self-isolation
Ask friends or family to drop off groceries and supplies, or use a delivery service
Ask a friend or family member to run errands for you

Separate Yourself from Others in Your Home

Avoid situations where you have close contact with other people living in your home
Stay on your own in a well-ventilated room (windows opened regularly) with the door closed
Use a separate bathroom/toilet, if available and clean bathroom/toilet after every use
Do not share utensils, towels, bedding or other items
Wash utensils/dishes thoroughly after use (dishwasher ok to use)
