Important COVID-19 Information for SU Students & Employees

Dear Campus Community,

Students and employees who are symptomatic or test positive for COVID-19 should stay home and contact Campus Health (410-677-0006 or CampusHealth@salisbury.edu). Additionally, students and employees who test positive at home with a take-home kit should notify Campus Health.

If you test positive for COVID-19:

• You must isolate for a minimum of 5 full days (day 0 being the day you tested positive).
  • Specific isolation dates will be determined on a case-by-case basis by Campus Health.
• Students living on campus (including University Park) must isolate at home.
• Students living off campus may choose to isolate at their permanent address or temporarily relocate if isolating at their current residence is not an option.
• Students who are in isolation or quarantine will need to make arrangements with their instructors regarding class attendance and assignments.

Members of the campus community are not allowed to be on campus if they are COVID positive.

Quarantine has generally been lifted for those identified as close contacts. All students, regardless of vaccination status, who are identified as a close contact will be required to take a campus administered test 5 days after exposure.

*Residential students who share sleeping quarters with a positive individual and are not up-to-date on their COVID vaccination (including booster) will be required to quarantine at home for 5 full days. Campus Health will provide you with a return date. You must test negative at Campus Health on this date to be cleared from Quarantine.

Individuals who test positive and close contacts should wear a well-fitting KN95 mask when around others for at least 10 days. Masks are available, at no cost, at the GSU Information Desk and several offices around campus.

Members of the campus community should feel free, and are encouraged, to wear face masks – and must wear them in all areas designated as required. Please remember, all plans and protocols are subject to change based on the case rates and circumstances. Campus Health will notify faculty through the Roster on GullNet.

The Campus Health office is at the back of Blackwell Hall – the door is at the top of the long ramp facing the parking lot. Testing hours are Monday through Friday 8:30am to 4pm (closed for lunch from 12-12:45pm).
