COVID-19 Response

Mask Guidance:

• Masks are required in all lab and clinical activities.
• Masks are encouraged in all other settings when distancing is not possible.
• We will continue to monitor COVID-19 Community Impact Levels and cases on our campuses and adjust our protocols accordingly.

We strongly encourage our campus community to also observe these additional precautions:

• Please plan to carry a mask with you when you’re on campus.
• Minimize your time unmasked when around other people.
• Schedule meetings and gatherings in rooms large enough to accommodate social distancing.
• Consider wearing a mask while indoors in off-campus settings.
• Remain up-to-date with COVID-19 vaccines and boosters.
• Stay home and avoid contact with others if you are sick.
• Keep a supply of at-home COVID tests on hand in your home. You may order up to eight free tests here. 

If you have tested positive for COVD-19 regardless of vaccination status:

• Please complete the KCU COVID Intake Form and follow the latest Quarantine and Isolation guidelinesfrom the CDC;
• Stay home for at least five days and isolate from others in your home;
• Wear a well-fitted mask if you must be around others in your home;
• If you were severely ill with COVD-19 you should isolate for at least 10 days. Consult your doctor before ending isolation.

You can find Community-Based Testing Sites in your area using the link here.

• The libraries at each campus have a limited supply of rapid antigen tests that you can sign out.
• Supplies are limited so we ask that you use this resource only if you have not been successful with any of the above testing options.
