COVID-19 - New England College-ag娱乐

COVID-19 Updates

While COVID-19 remains an important public health threat, it is no longer the emergency that it once was, and its health impacts increasingly resemble those of other respiratory viral illnesses. New England College follows the CDC’s updated recommendations to manage COVID-19 similarly to other respiratory illnesses, including Influenza.  

To continue to protect the health of everyone on campus, ag娱乐 will follow the CDC’s Respiratory Virus Guidance on steps to prevent the spread of illness. ag娱乐 recommends that students, faculty, and staff with symptoms of respiratory illness limit their exposure to others in group settings until at least 24 hours after the resolution of fever AND overall symptoms are improving. Strict isolation and COVID-19 testing are no longer required if you have respiratory symptoms.

For more information about Respiratory Virus Guidance,

  1. Review ag娱乐’s Fall 2024 Respiratory Virus Policies.
  2. Contact the Wellness Center 603.428.2253 (Monday–Friday 8:30 a.m.–5:00 p.m.) to receive health advice or be evaluated if you have symptoms that concern you.
