COVID-19 health protocol for employees and students at Clarendon College to return to on-campus activity.

Understanding and use of terms:

Exposure - Contact with infectious agents (bacteria or viruses) in a manner that promotes transmission and increases the likelihood of disease.

Close Contact - considered someone who was within 6 feet of an infected person for a cumulative total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period starting from 2 days before illness onset or, for asymptomatic patients, 2 days prior to test specimen collection until the time the patient is isolated.

Quarantine vs. Isolation

You quarantine when you might have been exposed to the virus and may or may not have been infected.

You isolate when you have been infected with the virus, even if you don’t have symptoms.

Everyone, regardless of vaccination status.
• Isolate for 5 days.
