Healthy Habits
Whether you are on campus or away, it is important that you take precautions to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus. This is a shared responsibility and all students are expected under the Elon’s Honor Code to follow these guidelines and take these precautions at all times.
If you are in a category the CDC has deemed as higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19, consult the CDC’s extra precautions site and speak with your healthcare provider about risks and how to manage them.
Monitor
your health daily using the R&R Health Screening app to identify cases early and to be mindful of contagion. If you begin to have symptoms of COVID-19, self-isolate immediately and contact your healthcare provider.
Avoid
close personal contact and maintain a minimum physical distance of at least six feet. Be mindful of physical distancing in small spaces including elevators, hallways, stairwells, and restrooms.
Wear
cloth face coverings while indoors (classrooms, labs, elevators, common areas, etc.) & outdoors when social distancing is not possible. Read the full Elon University Face Covering Policy.
Wash
your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds as frequently as feasible.
Use
hand sanitizer after interactions with people or objects if soap and water are not readily available.
Cough or sneeze
into a tissue, sleeve or elbow, not your hands.
Do not share
drinks, bottles, phones, desks, eating utensils, hygiene products or other personal use items.
Stay in Place
if you are ill.
Avoid
touching your face.
Refrain
from shaking hands or other close bodily contact (including “selfies”) with others.
Disinfect
any public equipment (fitness equipment, computers, water filling stations, etc.) before and after each use.
