Information & Updates

The COVID-19 situation is rapidly evolving and it is essential that everyone stays informed. This page provides information around COVID-19 as it pertains to SMCC. Please check back regularly for updates. SMCC recommends that employees and students follow their doctor’s advice regarding COVID-19 vaccinations, but COVID-19 vaccination is not mandatory.

What do I do if I have symptoms:

You may have heard that the US CDC has eliminated the 5-day isolation period for those who test positive for COVID-19. The updated guidance states that people with COVID-19 may return to their daily activities if they have been fever-free for 24-hours (without medication) and their symptoms are improving.

However, the CDC stressed that those with COVID-19, RSV or Influenza may still be contagious to others, even without symptoms, and should take steps to avoid spreading their respiratory virus.  Respiratory Virus Guidance (cdc.gov).

We recommend that anyone who feels unwell stay home if possible and, if coming to campus, please wear a mask, cover your cough and wash your hands frequently.  We are all more aware of simple steps that can be taken in order to avoid infecting others or prolonging our own recovery. Please check with your faculty members if you have any questions about how to make up lost class time.
