Trinity Covid-19 Protocols

Trinity Covid-19 Protocols 

• If you are sick or have symptoms of illness, STAY HOME!  Staying away from others is the best way to keep everyone healthy.  Faculty and supervisors should be understanding and helpful when students or staff say they cannot be present due to illness.  It is important to encourage this healthy practice and refrain from putting pressure on someone to show up when they need to stay away.
  • If you do have symptoms, please report to the Health Center (Main 461) or see your health care provider for care.
  • If you test positive for Covid, please  submit the COVID test submission form and follow the guidance of the Health Center or your provider about return to campus.  See additional guidance at: https://www.cdc.gov/covid/testing/index.html
    • You can go back to your normal activities when, for at least 24 hours, both are true:
      • Your symptoms are getting better overall, and
      • You have not had a fever (and are not using fever-reducing medication).
• When you go back to your normal activities, take added precaution over the next 5 days, such as taking additional steps for cleaner air, hygiene, masks, physical distancing, and/or testing 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.
• Wash. Your. Hands.  Goes without saying, but we need to say it.  See additional prevention strategies at: https://www.cdc.gov/covid/prevention/index.html
• Masks are not required on Trinity’s campus.  Persons who wish to wear masks are welcome to do so, and we ask all to respect the rights of those who continue to wear masks.  Being responsive in a positive way will help everyone.
• Keep your distance.  While we have returned to more “normal” patterns, it still helps to keep a bit of distance where you can do so — wait for the next elevator, give some room for seating, etc.
• Vaccines are recommended.  Trinity recommends but does not require students, faculty, staff, contractors, and visitors who come to campus to be vaccinated and boosted against Covid-19. Vaccines are the best way to ensure your personal safety and the safety of the community. We recommend that all in the Trinity community remain updated with their vaccines.
  • Students can update their immunization and vaccine records on the Trinity Student Health Portal.  Alternatively, you can provide a copy in person to the Health and Wellness Center (Main 461).
