For people who are unvaccinated or are more than five months out from their second vaccination dose (Pfizer or Moderna) or more than 2 months for the J&J vaccine, and not yet boosted, the CDC recommends quarantine for 5 days followed by strict mask use for an additional 5 days. If a 5-day quarantine is not feasible, an exposed person must wear a well-fitting mask at all times when around others for 10 days after exposure. Individuals who have received their booster do not need to quarantine following an exposure, but should wear a mask for 10 days after the exposure. It is suggested that individuals who are exposed have a COVID test at day 5 after exposure.
Please monitor for symptoms; should you become symptomatic, you must remain out of work and get tested. You must also email Human Resources at weinbergerma@easternct.edu and/or osubag@easternct.edu to report that you are symptomatic and are remaining out of work until test results are received.
If you test positive you must stay out of work, and email the Office of Human Resources at weinbergerma@easternct.edu and/or osubag@easternct.edu for additional information about quarantine periods and returning to campus.
