The health and well-being of our students and employees are always a top priority for Danville Community College. For the health of our campus community, we ask that you use precautions to prevent spread, including staying home and away from others (including people you live with who are not sick) if you have respiratory symptoms.
COVID-19 positive cases and exposures do not need to be reported to the college. Staff in Human Resources and Student Services remain a resource for employees and students.
· Students who are unable to attend class for any reason, should notify their instructor(s).
· Employees who are unable to come to campus should notify their supervisor.
The CDC provides these recommendations when you are sick:
· You can go back to your normal activities when, for at least 24 hours, both are true:
o Your symptoms are getting better overall, and
o You have not had a fever (and are not using fever-reducing medication).
When you go back to your normal activities, take added precaution over the next 5 days, such as taking additional steps for cleaner air, hygiene, masks, physical distancing, and/or testing when you will be around other people indoors. This is especially important to protect people with factors that increase their risk of severe illness from respiratory viruses.
Seek health care promptly for testing and/or treatment if you have risk factors for severe illness. Treatment may help lower your risk of severe illness, but it needs to be started within a few days of when your symptoms begin.
Mental Well-being
Current Danville students are eligible for TimelyCare, a free support program that provides 24/7 access to virtual mental health and emotional care from anywhere in the U.S. Students are encouraged to set up their account in TimelyCare, so they will have quick access to these services if they feel anxious, overwhelmed, or are struggling with other mental health issues.
Masks
Masks are not required on campus, but those who wish to wear a mask over their nose and mouth are welcome to do so.
COVID-19 Vaccines
While COVID-19 vaccines and boosters are encouraged for all employees, students, and visitors to campus, they are not required.
