Wearing face masks in classrooms, shared laboratories, other instructional spaces and tightly confined educational spaces (such as advising offices), will continue to be required at all University of Â鶹´«Ã½ campuses for the 2022 summer sessions. Following the increase in COVID-19 cases across the state, the continuation of existing masking requirements was recommended by UH medical and public health experts and the State of Â鶹´«Ã½ Department of Health and affirmed by UH Officers and administration officials on all campuses. A decision on whether the requirement will remain in place for the fall 2022 semester is expected by mid-August.
Please continue to follow the UH COVID-19 Guidelines during the summer sessions. If you test positive for COVID-19 and have been on campus, immediately contact your campus COVID-19 Response Team (contact info for each UH campus). Instructors can also inform the CRT with contact information of an individual. The UH System follows the (PDF).
Do not report to a UH campus or facility if any of these apply:
- You tested positive for COVID-19 and are on home isolation.
- You have new or worsening symptoms that could be COVID-19 and not attributable to a pre-existing condition.
- You are immunocompromised and are a close contact of a COVID-19 positive individual.
- You are not “up to date” with your vaccines and are a close contact of a COVID-19 positive individual. “Up to date” means you have received all COVID-19 vaccine doses for which you are eligible, e.g., the initial two shots and a booster.
- You must isolate for 5 days after the date of last exposure and may return on day 6 if you have not had a fever within the past 24 hours and your symptoms are significantly improved. When you return to campus, you must wear a well-fitted mask at all times and not eat or drink around others until the full 10 days have passed.
- You are subject to government-issued or a healthcare provider¡¯s orders to quarantine.
