Covid-19 and Community Health Guidance
Prescott College places the well-being and safety of our entire campus community at the forefront of our approach to education. We ask that employees, staff, and students contribute to any public health concerns by following CDC guidelines including current COVID-19 vaccination. However, COVID-19 vaccine status will not be a condition of enrollment or employment.
Prescott College is a residential community where we live, work, and learn together. Thus while COVID-19 vaccinations are not mandatory, we still encourage students, staff, and faculty to monitor their symptoms. If you have, or think you might have COVID-19, there are steps to take to help prevent the virus from spreading to others in your home and community. Community members who suspect COVID-19 should contact their advisor, instructor, and/or employer to discuss masking, isolation, and/or work-from-home solutions.
Most people with COVID-19 have only mild symptoms and can recover at home. If you have severe symptoms, including difficulty breathing, call 911 or visit your local emergency room immediately.
Please observe the following for proper self-care
- Stay Home unless you are seeking medical care
- Contact your healthcare provider
- Rest and stay hydrated
- Stay away from others, even at home
- Tell your close contacts they may have been exposed to COVID
- Seek emergency medical care if necessary
