Dear Faculty, Staff and Students:

In response to a recent update in CDC guidelines, and with the approval of our healthcare partners, we are adjusting the COVID policy communicated to the campus community on August 5, 2022.

The CDC is no longer making a distinction in vaccination status and quarantine protocol after exposure to a positive case.  All students, faculty, and staff—regardless of vaccination status—who are exposed or have been in close contact with a positive individual need not quarantine, but should monitor themselves for symptoms and wear a mask for 10 days after exposure.

The updated policy will be available at: https://franklincollege.edu/coronavirus/.  Thank you all for continuing to prioritize your own health and that of the campus community.

Kerry Prather

President
