Isolation
If a member of the SAU community tests positive for COVID-19, they are required to isolate for 5 days and monitor for symptoms at home or in a designated isolation location on SAU’s campus.
Quarantine
If a member of the SAU community is determined to be in close contact with an individual (on or off campus) who tested positive for COVID-19, they are required to quarantine for 3 days with a negative test result or 5 days without testing if there are no symptoms. Quarantine will occur at home or in a designated quarantine location on SAU’s campus.
Both isolation and quarantine mean staying physically apart from others to prevent the spread of infection. The Wake County Health Department sets the amount of time recommended for quarantine for students, faculty and staff.
