If you have been exposed or test positive for COVID-19

Employees who have been within six (6) feet or less for ten (10) minutes or more of an individual who tests positive for COVID-19 or has been in direct contact with infectious secretions of a positive COVID-19 case must follow the mandatory CDC recommended quarantine period and seek COVID-19 testing. The current recommended period is 14 days. Depending on the employee’s specific circumstances, the employee may telework (where applicable) or utilize leave as established under Families First Coronavirus Response Act, annual or sick leave, or unpaid leave.

A student awaiting the results of a COVID-19 test will be required to self quarantine, in an off-campus residence if possible, until the results are reported. If a student lives on campus and it is not practicable to return to an off-campus residence, the student will be assigned to a quarantine room.
Students who test positive for COVID-19 must remain in quarantine, in an off campus residence if possible, until the student is released to return to class, as determined by Health Services in consultation with CDC guidelines

Free COVID-19 Testing. Anyone who wants a COVID-19 test can get one through the Montgomery County Health Department drive-thru testing site on Pageant Lane, in the Veterans Plaza parking lot in front of Civic Hall, open 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. every weekday for as long as it's needed. Residents are swabbed for free without leaving their car. The tests are then sent to the state lab for testing, which takes 24 - 36 hours.
