PERSONAL HEALTH SAFETY ACCOUNTABILITY REQUIREMENT

All students are required to follow ESCC’s health and safety guidelines, including:

• All students enrolled in an ESCC class must sign and abide by the Student Health Safety Agreement.
• Any student not wearing an applicable face covering or not abiding by social distancing requirements may be asked to leave the campus.
• Consistent with guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), students must complete the following COVID-19 health self-assessment each day PRIOR to coming to campus for any reason. This tool is not meant to take the place of talking to healthcare providers to diagnose or treat conditions.

3. In the last 14 days, have you traveled to a location with a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) or Virginia COVID-19 travel warning?

IF YOU ANSWER YES TO ANY QUESTION

After completing your health self-check, if you answer “yes” to any question, please notify your instructor or the ESCC COVID-19 Campus Team (healthsafety@es.vccs.edu) and await instructions BEFORE you come to campus for any reason. To respect your privacy, answers to specific questions will not be collected.

RETURN TO CAMPUS

Students may not return to campus until given permission by the ESCC COVID-19 Campus Team (healthsafety@es.vccs.edu). To return to campus, students must:

• be free of symptoms or fever for 72 hours without the use of a fever-reducing or cough medication, and at least 10-days have passed since your symptoms first appeared or
• have been officially cleared for their return by their healthcare provider.

INSTRUCTORS

Instructors should direct any individual who answers “YES” to one or more of the health self-check questions to stay home and not come to campus. Instructors should notify the ESCC COVID-19 Campus Team (healthsafety@es.vccs.edu).
