Isolation and Return to Campus Instructions
If you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 or have received a positive result for COVID-19 on a PCR or rapid antigen test, you must self-isolate, complete the Ontario COVID-19 self-assessment and follow public health direction.
- Do not return to campus until symptoms have been improving for 24 hours (or 48 hours if gastrointestinal symptoms) with no fever present.
- Asymptomatic individuals with a positive test result do not need to self-isolate unless symptoms develop. If symptoms develop, they should self-isolate immediately.
-
For those living in high-risk settings or those who are immunocompromised, additional isolation requirements may be required. Please complete the Ontario COVID-19 self-assessment and follow public health direction provided.
The following illustration outlines an example isolation and mask requirement scenario. Symptoms may be shorter or longer than what is presented here. Please note the following:
