Covid Isolation/Quarantine Resources

Ole 1 — Welcome to your isolation/quarantine resource page maintained by the case management team!

Our role is to provide support for students throughout the isolation or quarantine process. For questions, concerns, or suggestions please email us.

**Visit the Covid-19 webpage for FAQs.**

If you test positive or are awaiting a symptomatic test result a contact tracer will ask whom you’ve had close contact with, those students will be quarantined in their room while you are moved to isolation housing.

The definition of close contact:

Any hug or kiss, duration of time does not matter
Any one you have been within 6 feet of for more than 15 minutes, those 15 minutes are the accumulation of time within a 24 hour period. Even if you both had masks on.

Be prepared. No one plans to get Covid.

Following is a list of items you should have on hand:

Supply of clean clothes
Up to date prescriptions
Cold/flu medications
Snacks
Tea and coffee
Water bottle
Electronics including chargers and power cords
Class & leisure reading materials
Toiletries
PPE, including thermometer

Provided items, NO need to pack:

Those testing positive or reporting symptoms (for more than 24 hours) will be called by contact tracing and, with the help of a case manager, be transported. Isolation locations consist of honor houses and limited residence hall rooms with ensuite bathrooms. A public safety officer will assist students by transporting them and their belongings to an isolation location outside their residence hall.

Isolation Protocols

YES! There is no such thing as to0 much support.

A good friend/roommate can do the following:

Contactless delivery of snacks to your door.
Contactless delivery of beverages to your door.
Contactless delivery of mail/packages to your door.
Contactless delivery of musical instruments to your door.
Contactless delivery of library books or items from the bookstore to your door.

Key Phrase: Contactless delivery – most everything can be dropped at your door.

*This applies only to roommates not in isolation/quarantine.

The Contact Tracing Team members are St. Olaf staff and faculty. They reach out to students who have been identified as testing positive or have been in close contact with a positive student. The contact tracer will interview each student, determine their length of ISO/Q, basic needs, and then check in on their health status daily until released from isolation or quarantine.

The Case Management Team is composed of St Olaf staff case managers and St. Olaf student delivery team. Case managers will assist students with their move to isolation, meals, packages and more.
