Based on this level of transmission, the CDC\u2019s recommended action is to \u201cStay up to date with COVID-19 vaccines, including recommended booster doses. Maintain ventilation improvements. Avoid contact with people who have suspected or confirmed COVID-19. Follow recommendations for isolation if you have suspected or confirmed COVID-19. Follow the recommendations for what to do if you are exposed to someone with COVID-19. If you are at high risk of getting very sick, talk with a healthcare provider about additional prevention actions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the public health emergency for COVID-19 is scheduled to end on May 11, 2023, we will be archiving many of the pages of the UMW COVID website and reducing the frequency of our campus communications. You\u2019ll hear from us when new resources or guidance is available or when there are significant updates from the CDC or an increase in our community levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Student Health Center will continue to provide information and guidance on COVID and other respiratory illnesses, including reminders of proactive and precautionary measures, updates on quarantine and isolation instructions, and vaccine clinics in the fall. We will also be discontinuing isolation spaces on campus, which were available during the height of the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You no longer need to report cases to the University, but we encourage you stay home if you are sick following the guidance of the CDC and your healthcare provider for any illness. You\u2019ll need to continue to communicate with your instructors or supervisors to make up assignments or make alternate arrangements when you miss class or work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We appreciate your continued attention to monitoring symptoms following CDC recommendations, and we hope you have a wonderful summer and stay well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take Care,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UMW\u2019s Public Health Advisory Working Group<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">April 7, 2023<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Public Health Reminders for April<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dear UMW Community,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In recent weeks, the COVID-19 community level has remained low as reported on the CDC tracker.

We appreciate your continued attention to monitoring symptoms following CDC recommendations and staying home if you are sick. Get rest, drink plenty of fluids and seek medical attention as needed. Let your professors or supervisors know why you are missing class or work. You\u2019ll need to work with your course faculty to make up missed assignments or make alternate arrangements when you miss class due to illness, and this is particularly important as we approach final assignments and exams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ll continue to provide monthly public health reminders and update campus when there are significant updates from the CDC or an increase in our community levels.

Based on this level of transmission, the CDC\u2019s recommended action is to \u201cWear a mask indoors in public and on public transportation. Stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccines.

If you aren\u2019t feeling well, whether or not you think it\u2019s COVID, please avoid contact with other people. Get rest, drink plenty of fluids and seek medical attention as needed. Let your professors or supervisors know why you are missing class or work. You\u2019ll need to work with your course faculty to make up missed assignments or make alternate arrangements when you miss class due to illness. If you test positive for COVID-19, please review the isolation guidance to implement your plan and pack for the isolation period if you are a residential student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we return for the spring semester, all students are strongly encouraged to have an isolation and quarantine plan. For students living on campus, we strongly recommend that those who can travel safely in a private vehicle conduct their period of isolation in their home. For all other residential students, UMW has identified isolation spaces in Marshall Hall, which will be made available at no additional cost to our residential students for the duration of their quarantine\/isolation period. These spaces are limited in number and amenities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UMW continues to evaluate the COVID-19 pandemic in accordance with public health guidance and will provide updates to the campus community when there are significant updates from the CDC or an increase in our community levels. We trust that you continue to monitor your symptoms, stay home when sick, and follow CDC recommendations. Through our individual responsibilities and consideration of the needs of fellow students, staff and faculty, we remain vigilant and very hopeful for the semester and year ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take care,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UMW\u2019s Public Health Advisory Working Group<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>April 28, 2023 Public Health Reminders for Summer Dear UMW Community, In recent weeks, the COVID-19 community level has remained low as reported on the CDC tracker.

UMW continues to strongly encourage students and employees to get vaccinated\/boosted as soon as they are eligible. Giant will be on campus on Aug. 21, Sept. 17, Oct. 23 and Nov. 21 at the CRUC from 10am-3pm for vaccinations with the newest COVID vaccination, Flu vaccination and others that you might need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I know if I am eligible for a booster?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Check the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/covid\/vaccines\/stay-up-to-date.html?CDC_AAref_Val=https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/vaccines\/stay-up-to-date.html\"> CDC website<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Masking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are masks required on UMW property?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Masks are no longer required anywhere on UMW property, except healthcare settings when you are sick (Student Health Center, Talley Center for Counseling Services, Athletic Training room). However, the wearing of a well-fitting mask is highly effective at preventing the spread of the coronavirus, including its variants. We especially recommend KN95 masks, double masking, or equivalent masks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What if I still want to wear a mask?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course you can. There still are people within our community who are vulnerable and will continue to take additional measures to keep themselves safe. Others will simply feel more comfortable wearing their masks and practicing physical distancing. People with symptoms, a positive test, or exposure to someone with COVID-19 would also wear masks. We should all continue to treat each other with kindness and respect, particularly as people make individual decisions about if or when to wear a mask. We also encourage members of our campus community to put on their mask if another individual requests they do so, particularly in smaller, indoor settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where can I get a high-quality mask?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Masks will be available at the Student Health Center upon request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Will you change these policies again?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As we have throughout the pandemic, we will continue to adjust to public health conditions on campus and in the surrounding community, considering and reconsidering any health mitigation options as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wellness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I don\u2019t feel well. What should I do?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you aren\u2019t feeling well, whether or not you think it\u2019s COVID, please wear a mask and take precautions. Get rest, drink plenty of fluids and seek testing (OTC testing kit is available at most pharmacies).&nbsp; Please seek medical attention at the Student Health Center or local urgent care as needed. Let your professors or supervisors know why you are missing class or work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If I am isolating by avoiding contact with others, how can I get food?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There is online ordering (Grubhub) and take-out options. You may utilize these options while doing your best to avoid contact with others. Wear a mask around others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are things I can do to prevent the spread of infectious diseases on campus?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>They include simple everyday preventive measures, such as staying away from other people when you are sick, covering your coughs and sneezes, and washing your hands before you eat. Remember to wear a surgical mask, KN95 mask or equivalent if you are around others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where can I find a COVID test if I am feeling sick?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Self-tests are available at local pharmacies like Giant and CVS.\u00a0 For students who want to be evaluated by the Student Health Center please call during the week at 540-654-1040 to schedule an appointment. For after-hours and weekend support, you may call the Student Health number and be connected with a nurse hotline.

Please take precautions ( masking, distancing, testing) as you may still be contagious to others.  Please be sure to notify your professors, employers, and the Residence Life and Housing office (residential students) of your anticipated arrival to campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Isolation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What if I test positive while at school?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Distance from others and take precautions (including masking, hygiene, and cleaner air).  UMW do not have isolation spaces, so students can decide on what to do after discussing with their roommate. On-campus students who are having difficulties can discuss with Residence Life and Housing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If I test positive, how long will I need to stay away from others?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can go back to your normal activities when, for at least 24 hours, both are true:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your symptoms are getting better overall,\u00a0<strong>and<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You have not had a fever (and are not using fever-reducing medication).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When you go back to your normal activities, take added precaution over the next 5 days, such as taking additional\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/respiratory-viruses\/prevention\/air-quality.html\">steps for cleaner air<\/a>,\u00a0<a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/respiratory-viruses\/prevention\/hygiene.html\">hygiene,\u00a0<\/a><a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/respiratory-viruses\/prevention\/masks.html\">masks<\/a>,\u00a0<a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/respiratory-viruses\/prevention\/physical-distancing.html\">physical distancing<\/a>, and\/or\u00a0<a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/respiratory-viruses\/prevention\/testing.html\">testing\u00a0<\/a>when you will be around other people indoors. This is especially important to protect people with factors that increase their risk of severe illness from respiratory viruses.  Keep in mind that you may still spread the virus even though you are feeling better or if you have no symptoms in the first place. It takes time for your body to clear the virus from your system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This period can range from five to ten days from the onset of symptoms (or positive test if no symptoms).  The CDC recommends that immunocompromised individuals remain in isolation for the full ten days as they tend to be infectious longer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can I use testing to help with decisions about returning to normal activities?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have 2 negative tests 24 hours apart after improvement of your symptoms, then the likelihood of spreading the virus is much less.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What if I have a roommate? Do I have to wear a mask around them?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The congregate nature of college settings presents additional challenges with the isolation guidance. If you have a roommate, it is not practical to expect you to be able to mask at all times, particularly during sleep. If you are an on-campus student with a roommate, please coordinate the details of your isolation with your roommate.&nbsp; Have this conversation early so you know what to expect.&nbsp; If there is any difficulty, please contact your RA or Residence Life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boosters What is the latest guidance on vaccines and boosters?

There are precautions you can take to prevent spreading to others: isolation, masking, and avoiding contact with <a href=\"https:\/\/students.umw.edu\/healthcenter\/links\/covid-19\/\">people who are at high risk<\/a> of getting very sick.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Isolate at home (or in an isolation space) for a minimum of five days from onset of symptoms (or from date of test if you are asymptomatic) and avoid contact with others.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On Day 6 (with date of positive test being Day 0), if your symptoms have resolved, you may leave your home\/isolation space, but must mask around others for five additional days.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If at Day 6 you still have a fever, or your symptoms aren\u2019t resolving, remain in full isolation and avoid contact with others until the above conditions exist or until you have completed a full 10 days of isolation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For individuals interested in shortening the masking requirement, you may take a rapid antigen test twice, 48 hours apart from one another.&nbsp; If both tests are negative, you may stop masking early.&nbsp; This potentially shortens your masking period.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you were exposed to someone with COVID-19,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Take precautions and mask around others if you have any symptoms or with anyone at high risk of severe disease.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Test on Day 3- 5, if possible, earlier if you have symptoms.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does it mean to isolate?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Isolation is the separation of someone who is ill with or has tested positive for COVID-19 from people who are not sick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do I need a plan for isolation?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>All students living on campus should have an isolation plan.&nbsp; Talk with your roommate about what to do if one of you tests positive.&nbsp; You can isolate in your room or at home.&nbsp; Any problems with isolation with your roommate, please notify your RA\/ residence life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students in isolation can order their meals from Grubhub from the Top of the UC. Orders are placed in the Grubhub pick-up shelves that are located at the cashier. The student in isolation can either a) ask a friend to pick it up for them or b) go masked to pick up their order and get it from the shelf which is not inside the dining hall. If choosing the second option, the student must avoid direct interaction with others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All students living off-campus are strongly encouraged to have an isolation plan. UMW will <strong>not<\/strong> provide isolation housing or meal service for off-campus students or those who have remained in their permanent residence. Campus support services will be available virtually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How will I be supported if I am in isolation or quarantine (for students)?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The services available to all UMW students are still available to students who are in isolation. Please be aware however that there is no longer someone dedicated solely to COVID-19 response and so it is important to identify your need and contact the appropriate office:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/students.umw.edu\/healthcenter\/\">Student Health Center<\/a> is available if you are experiencing symptoms and would like to be seen. You can set up an appointment with the Student Health Center by calling 540-654-1040.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/students.umw.edu\/counseling\/\">Talley Center<\/a> is available to provide mental health resources and counseling services Students can request an appointment by (540) 654-1053 between the hours of 8-5 pm, Monday-Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/umw.edu\/residencelife\">Residence Life and Housing<\/a> can also assist. There is also an on-call professional available 24-7 for emergencies. Students can reach Residence Life and Housing at 540-654-1058 between the hours of 8am-5pm, Monday-Friday. After hours emergencies should be directed to UMW Police at 540-654-1025 and they will dispatch an officer, medical care, or the Residence Life on-call professional based on the nature of the concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We recognize that this is an anxiety-provoking time and we encourage students and members of the UMW community to reach out to friends, family, or colleagues when in isolation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The following resources remain available for 24\/7 support:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crisistextline.org\/\">Crisis Text Line<\/a>: 988 \/ Facebook Messenger: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/crisistextline\">com\/crisistextline<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imalive.org\/\">National Hopeline Network<\/a>: 1-800-SUICIDE (784-2433)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rainn.org\/national-resources-sexual-assault-survivors-and-their-loved-ones\">National Sexual Assault Hotline<\/a>: 1-800-656-HOPE (4673) \/ Life chat:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/hotline.rainn.org\/online\">rainn.org<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/suicidepreventionlifeline.org\/\">National Suicide Prevention Lifeline<\/a>: 1-800-273-TALK (8255)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.suicidepreventionnva.org\/ineedhelpnow.html\">Northern VA Crisis Hotline<\/a>: 1-703-527-4077<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.translifeline.org\/\">Transgender Suicide Hotline<\/a>: 1-877-565-8860<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Isolation and Precautions Regardless of vaccination status, if you test positive for COVID-19: If you were exposed to someone with COVID-19, What does it mean to isolate?

We do have small charges for testing, vaccinations and prescriptions that can be paid for with EagleOne or billed to your student account. We do not accept cash or credit cards nor do we bill health insurance for any services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, because the SHC is limited in scope and cannot provide all your medical care, we strongly encourage, but do not require, all students to have health insurance coverage for &nbsp;laboratory testing, x-rays, emergency room visits, hospitalizations, and specialist visits. If you have coverage, please make sure that it can be used in the Fredericksburg area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For many years, UMW has sponsored a Student Health Insurance option providing affordable, short-term, health insurance when other options were not available. With the passage of the Affordable Care Act, the insurance industry has changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Options:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A) You can enroll\/continue on your parent\u2019s health insurance plan until age 26.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>B) You can access coverage through the <a title=\"Healthcare.gov\" href=\"https:\/\/www.healthcare.gov\/marketplace\/b\/welcome\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Health Insurance Marketplace<\/a> (i.e., the Public Exchange) and may qualify for a subsidy offered through the Federal Government. American Exchange can assist you with enrolling in the Health Insurance Marketplace and in obtaining any subsidy for which you are eligible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>C) Another private health exchange with access to more than 300 health carriers is <a title=\"Edusure Health Insurance Exchange\" href=\"https:\/\/edusure.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Edusure<\/a> by Academic Health Plans. You may call Edusure at 1-800-EDU-EXCHANGE or enroll online.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We take student health seriously at UMW and we are committed to supporting your health needs.
