1. A contact tracer will notify you of your test result and perform a state-required interview.
2. Isolate for 7 days.
   • Contact tracers will work with students to identify an appropriate isolation space and place the student on a short term medical absence.

   • Employees should isolate at home and notify their supervisor that they will be home for at least 7 days 
3. On your seventh day of isolation, if your symptoms are improving and you have been fever-free for 24 hours without the aid of medication,
   • Students may exit isolation and must continue to mask and use only grab-and-go dining for an additional three days. 
   • Employees may return to their regular work schedule and must continue to mask for an additional three days.
4. Following isolation, do not participate in the Smith College PCR testing program for 90 days.
