All: On 12/2/2020, the CDC announced new guidelines for quarantine periods that we have now implemented into our employee and volunteer COVID-19 health screening form(s) and protocol(s) Attached are the new forms which you can download from this email, or you can go to the college website and portal to obtain them soon (currently in the process of posting them). Here is the newest information:

*Recommended quarantine periods per CDC guidelines (effective: 12/2/2020)

If you have COVID-19 symptoms, you must quarantine for 14 days from the date of your last close contact OR

If you have no COVID-19 symptoms during quarantine, you can be released as follows:

Without testing - Quarantine can end after Day 10 if no COVID-19 symptoms are reported during daily monitoring OR

With testing – Quarantine can end after Day 7 if you test negative within 48 hours of release (i.e. you can be tested no earlier than Day 5 for release after Day 7) and if no COVID-19 symptoms are reported during daily monitoring

NOTE: Regardless of your release date (after Day 7 or after Day 10), you must continue wearing your face covering/mask and be COVID-19 symptom free according to your daily health screening through Day 14. If any COVID-19 symptoms listed on your daily health screening develop, you are required to self-isolate immediately. Call Powell Valley Healthcare COVID-19 hotline at 307.754.1242 to discuss your answers to the daily health screening and their recommendations for your next steps.

Thank you, everyone, for continuing to wear your face covering/mask and for being diligent with social distancing. We are doing a very good job with campus safety and it is appreciated.
