COVID Update: End-of-Semester Travel and Isolation

Hello,

We are sharing this travel reminder as students plan to leave campus. Students who tested positive for COVID-19 and completed the five-day isolation period should continue to wear a well fitting mask on days 6-10 and should avoid travel on public transportation, buses, trains, or airplanes to minimize the risk of infecting people they encounter.

Additionally, per the Center of Disease Guidelines, travel is NOT recommended if:

• You are sick, even if you recovered from COVID-19 within the past 90 days or are up to date with your COVID-19 vaccines.
• You are waiting for the results of a COVID-19 test.
• You had close contact with a person with COVID-19 and are recommended to quarantine for a minimum of five days; best for 10 days.
  • If you must travel during days 6 – 10 after your last exposure: Get tested at least five days after your last close contact and await results prior to travel.

If you are a student and  have any questions please reach out directly to the Center for Health and Wellness at heathservices@emerson.edu. If you are staff, faculty, or vendors and have any questions please contact covid19@emerson.edu.

Best of luck with finals and stay well.
