COVID-19 and other Viral Illnesses

COVID-19 Testing

Currently, there are no plans to offer COVID-19 testing on campus; however, most insurance companies are offering reimbursement for home tests. Students are strongly encouraged to bring home antigen tests with them to campus. Employees can order free tests at COVID Home Tests | USPS.  Additionally, a limited number of COVID-19 home tests are available through University Housing for residential students and to off-campus students and employees in the Dean of Students office. Employees are limited to one box (2 tests) per visit. The Dean of Students Office is at 130 Bowman Hall.

There are a variety of resources for testing in the community

  • Schedule a test at Walgreens.com or CVS.com
  • If you are a student and need to see a health care provider, Student Health Services, operated by Prevea Health is open Monday-Friday from 8:00 am-4:30 pm. Call 715-232-1314 for an appointment.
  • Faculty or staff should consult their primary care doctor for COVID-related questions or health concerns.
Preventing the Spread of Respiratory Viruses

The CDC has recently revised guidance for COVID-19 infections.  The new guidance applies to all viral illnesses including COVID-19, Influenza, RSV and other respiratory viral illnesses. 

Under this new guidance,  stay home and away from others (including people you live with who are not sick) if you have respiratory virus symptoms that aren't better explained by another cause. These symptoms can include fever, chills, fatigue, cough, runny nose, and headache, among others.*

  • You can go back to your normal activities when, for at least 24 hours, both are true:
    • Your symptoms are getting better overall, and
    • 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 airhygiene, masksphysical distancing, and/or testing when you will be around other people indoors.
    • Keep in mind that you may still be able to spread the virus that made you sick, even if you are feeling better. You are likely to be less contagious at this time, depending on factors like how long you were sick or how sick you were.  This is especially important if you will have contact with elderly or immunocompromised individuals.
