One of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of COVID-19 is to stay home if you are not feeling well. DePaul asks students, faculty and staff to conduct a daily self-screening of their health anytime they prepare to visit campus.
According to the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s self-checker, symptoms of COVID-19 may include:
- Fever or chills
- Cough
- Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
- Fatigue
- Muscle or body aches
- Headache
- New loss of taste or smell
- Sore throat
- Congestion or runny nose
- Nausea or vomiting
- Diarrhea
Have COVID-19 symptoms or exposure?
DePaul follows current CDC guidance for those with symptoms or who may have been exposed to someone who tested positive for COVID.
If you have possible
COVID-19 symptoms with no exposure: Regardless of vaccination status, get tested as soon as possible. Stay home (except to get tested) while you have symptoms and do NOT attend in-person class.
If you were exposed to COVID-19 and have no symptoms:
Check CDC guidance to determine if you need to quarantine and when to test.
