<div class="accordion-collapse collapse" id="collapse4">
<div class="card-body">
<p>Make contact with your lecturer/ supervisor/University Administration to communicate your COVID-19 status. Begin your 14-day Isolation period (14 full days after symptoms begin, or 14 full days after positive test date if asymptomatic). Do not interact with anyone, or attend in-person classes, work, parties, public businesses, etc. You should not share a bedroom or a bathroom with anyone else. Isolation ends on your 15th day, and you are required to be retested to ensure that you have a negative COVID-19 result. Following a negative result, you will be given clearance from the University’s medical personnel to return to class/work after they review the result.<br />
Note: - If you are vaccinated, you must still isolate for 14 days if you test positive for COVID.</p>

<p>If you are on campus and you show signs of COVID-19 or you are experiencing symptoms, the University would schedule and provide testing for you with an approved medical facility to be sure of your status. If found positive for COVID-19, the medical personnel and OOHAS would begin contact tracing to have those that you have come into contact with self-isolate for a few days before having them tested as well just to be sure.</p>
