COVID-19 Updates

12/13/22

In accordance with the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the Ohio Department of Health (ODH), Terra State has updated the guidelines for COVID-19 positive persons and close contacts of a COVID-19 positive person.

If you test positive for COVID-19:

Please email covid@terra.edu for guidance if you have tested positive for COVID-19.
Regardless of vaccination status or symptoms, anyone who tests positive for COVID-19 must isolate for at least 5 days.
If fever-free for 24 hours (without the use of fever-reducing medication) and symptoms are improving, isolation may end on the sixth day following either symptom onset or a positive COVID-19 test.
The person then must consistently wear a mask for the next five days.
If you had moderate illness (if you experienced shortness of breath or had difficulty breathing), or severe illness (you were hospitalized) due to COVID-19, or you have a weakened immune system, you need to isolate through day 10.
If you had severe illness or have a weakened immune system, consult your doctor before ending isolation. Ending isolation without a viral test may not be an option for you.
If you are unsure if your symptoms are moderate or severe or if you have a weakened immune system, talk to a healthcare provider for further guidance.

If you were exposed to a person with COVID-19:

Please email covid@terra.edu for guidance if you have been identified as a close contact of COVID-19.
You do not need to stay home unless you develop symptoms.
Watch for symptoms until 10 days after you last had close contact with someone with COVID-19.
The person then must consistently wear a mask for the next ten days.
Even if you don’t develop symptoms, get tested at least 5 days after you last had contact with someone with COVID-19.
If you develop symptoms, get tested immediately and continue to stay home until you receive the results.

COVID-19 Testing:

If you would like to be tested for COVID-19, please email covid19testing@terra.edu to schedule an appointment. The clinic will be open for appointments on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 9:00 AM- 11:00 PM. If you need tested outside of these times, please email covid19testing@terra.edu.
Antibody testing is available by appointments by emailing covid19testing@terra.edu.
If you have any other questions regarding COVID-19, you may email jkin01@terra.edu or covid@terra.edu.
