COVID-19 Next Steps

Patrick & Henry Community College Student COVID Policy

Effective Date: 3/12/2024

Positive Test Result

The student will contact their instructors (regardless of face-to-face or online modality) immediately.
The student will quarantine for a minimum of 3 days after the positive test result OR after the fever subsides without the use of fever-reducing medications, whichever comes last. The student can then return to class and is strongly encouraged to wear a mask for the week after returning to class.

COVID Exposure

The student should be diligent in monitoring their symptoms for 10 days after the exposure. Students are encouraged to test once during days 3-5 after the exposure occurred. If the student develops symptoms, do not attend class. The student should test immediately and follow-up with their instructors regarding the progress of their classes. If the student tests positive, follow the “Positive Test Result” guidance provided above.
