Important Health and Safety Requirements

August 10, 2022

Dear Residential Blue Jays,

We are excited to welcome you back to campus for what we know will be a great year. In addition to the message you received from the university on Monday, Aug. 1, 2022, we wanted to make you aware of a few additional items related to testing for COVID and isolation for residential students.

Testing

  • Self-test kits will be available in the residence halls, SHWC, and at the asymptomatic testing sites throughout the semester.
  • Asymptomatic and symptomatic PCR testing will be available for students, faculty, and staff throughout the semester.

Isolation in Place

  • We are continuing our practice of isolation in place for residential undergraduates who test positive while on campus. Students who test positive for COVID after arrival in Baltimore, using a home test or a test from a testing center off-campus, should notify the Student Health and Wellness Center using this form and isolate in their room for at least 5 days and until cleared by SHWC staff.
  • Arrangements will be made for students isolating in place to have access to meals and the COVID support team (covidsupport@jhu.edu). 

Thank you for looking out for one another and doing your part to protect our community. We look forward to welcoming you back to campus soon.

Sincerely,

Jon Conlogue
Interim Executive Director for Community Living
