Health and Safety

WMU's General Safety Plan:

Masks

Required of everyone while indoors, including in classrooms.

Rapid-result testing

Even for mild symptoms, testing is available to all on campus. Students and employees must complete a daily health screening. Everyone, including students, will be asked to isolate if they test positive.

Vigilant hygiene

Frequent hand washing and cleaning of high-touch surfaces.

Physical/social distancing

Maintaining at least 6 feet of distance from others while in public spaces.

To prevent the spread of respiratory diseases like COVID-19:

• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.

• Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.

• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.

• Stay home when you are sick, except to get medical care.

• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.

If you are sick or suspect COVID-19:

If you have any COVID-19 symptoms or if you had contact with a person who is a confirmed COVID-19 case, please call (269) 387-3287 before going to Sindecuse Health Center to discuss your symptoms and need for screening.

If one of your close contacts tests positive for COVID-19:

If you have had close contact with a household member, intimate partner or caregiver in a non-healthcare setting who has tested positive or is under investigation for COVID-19, you should monitor your health. Call your healthcare provider right away if you develop symptoms suggestive of COVID-19 (e.g., fever, cough, shortness of breath).
