Covid-19 testing at the Health Center at Auraria

- Patients with positive results will be contacted immediately, usually with a phone call but also through their Patient Portal.
Testing protocol for people who have recently had Covid-19
If someone tests positive for Covid-19, they should wait three months before receiving a Covid-19 vaccine but can receive the flu vaccine anytime.
People who test positive for Covid-19 should:
- Isolate at home for five days from the onset of symptoms.
- After five days of isolation, if symptoms are improving, then they may leave isolation but should wear a mask for the next five days.
- If symptoms are not improving after five days, further evaluation may be needed. In this case, individuals should remain in isolation and follow up with their medical provider.
Protecting yourself and others
It is important for the health and well-being of the campus community that campus constituents who feel ill or are symptomatic stay home and avoid coming to campus.
- The Health Center at Auraria follows Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) isolation and precaution guidelines for Covid-19.
- Currently, the CDC does not have isolation recommendations regarding flu or RSV, but isolation and consultation with a medical provider are advised for these illnesses.
