Academic COVID-Related FAQs
On this page, we have compiled specific FAQs about COVID-related conditions affecting Fall 2023 teaching and learning. Additional information about the campus response to COVID for the Fall 2023 semester for students and employees may be found on the Campus & COVID-19 Information page.
What's New
We will continue to monitor the status of cases on campus and in our surrounding community and will update policies or protocols as needed. As we have throughout the pandemic, 我们将根据当地情况作出这些重要决定, state, 以及联邦公共卫生指南和建议.
Updated: August 2023
Classes
我可以决定将我的课堂形式从面对面改为虚拟吗?
No, individual faculty can’t decide to depart from the modality published in the class schedule. 决定改变学生已经报名的课程的教学形式(例如.g., switching a face-to-face class to synchronous remote instruction) can only be made by the dean, the Provost, and the President, 谁根据县里的建议做出这样的决定, state, or systemwide leaders.
是否有保持身体距离的规定?
不,教室里不再需要保持身体距离. 地方和州政府机构已经取消了这些限制.
如果我发现我或我班上的某人已经接触到COVID-19怎么办?
这取决于接触是否发生在“密切接触”期间,” which is defined as sharing the same indoor airspace for a cumulative total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period with someone during their infectious period. For symptomatic confirmed cases, the infectious period is 2 days before symptoms through 5-10 days after symptom first appeared AND 24 hours have passed with no fever. For asymptomatic cases, the infectious period is 2 days before symptoms through 5 days after the first positive COVID-19 test. 因为当一个人接触到病毒时,涉及到很多变量(e.g., whether vaccinated or not), see this flowchart for guidance.
Per state law, employees will continue to be notified of close exposure to a person testing positive in the workplace, 在这些情况下,将提供测试工具. Individuals who receive a notification of possible exposure should read the notification carefully and ensure that they follow the instructions and guidance. Individuals exposed to someone who is COVID-19 positive but remain asymptomatic are not required to quarantine. Employees who test positive must inform their appropriate administrator/MPP immediately and file with Risk Management an official confidential report for staff and faculty members. Risk Management provides detailed information on next steps 所有COVID-19检测呈阳性的员工.
如果我亲自上课的学生感染了COVID-19怎么办? Should I make my class virtual then?
Sacramento State’s Student Health and Counseling Services 一旦发现学生感染了病毒,就进行风险评估. 在不太可能的情况下,他们认为有必要改变类的形态, someone will let you know. 作为一名教师,你没有必要做出这样的决定. Changing the course modality can be chaotic and difficult for students who have organized their schedules around what is posted in the class schedule, 所以请尽量保持正常.
有症状的学生将继续接受免费测试 WELL的学生健康和咨询服务(SHCS). Students who are symptomatic or test positive are required to report their positive test via the student health services reporting link.
What happens during a risk assessment?
学生健康和咨询服务人员是训练有素的医务人员, 所以他们考虑的是任何医学专业人士都会评估的事情, such as where an exposure took place, how long it lasted, under what circumstances it occurred, 以及有什么社区卫生标准来控制这种情况. 他们擅长这种风险评估, 他们对其他潜在的接触如脑膜炎或肺结核进行了哪些检查.
如果我接种了疫苗,但我接触过COVID-19,会发生什么, should I continue teaching my class?
As this flowchart indicates, fully vaccinated and asymptomatic people who are exposed to the virus do not need to self-quarantine and can continue to work as normal. 但是,请咨询您的医疗服务提供者以获得指导和后续行动.
What about my office hours?
Follow the University policy governing office hours, and further consider whether the modality of your office hours should mirror the modality of the course. That means if you are teaching an in-person class, your office hours would be face-to-face as well. 同样,远程课堂的学生也可以通过虚拟方式与你联系. You might consider offering both in-person and virtual ways for students in all your classes to connect with you, and you might also consider holding in-person office hours outside if it would make you and your students more comfortable.
What can I put in my syllabus to let students know University and course policies related to COVID-19?
There is no requirement to include information about COVID-19 policies in faculty syllabi, but you may wish to do so. You can find a sample script for communicating your expectations regarding COVID-19 to your students .
Vaccination
Are vaccines required at Sac State?
强烈建议所有Sac州立大学的工作人员接种COVID-19疫苗, faculty, and students, 包括住在学生宿舍的学生. A second bivalent booster is recommended for individuals 65 and older and those who are moderately or severely immunocompromised. Find out where you can be vaccinated. Individuals who already have a religious or medical exemption from the University do not need to reapply. 个人可以在状态发生变化时更新其COVID自我认证.
Being fully vaccinated/boosted remains the single most effective way to avoid serious illness from COVID-19. You can visit My Turn California or 萨克拉门托县卫生服务部 网站安排您附近的免费疫苗接种. 有关助推器资格的信息可在 CDC website.
学生健康和咨询不再提供疫苗/助推器.
我能知道我班上学生的疫苗接种情况吗?
No. Faculty are currently not informed of the status of other required vaccinations for students, 在这种情况下,我们将遵循相同的过程.
If a student has a positive COVID test, the Student Health Center will follow the same protocols that they do already for other infectious diseases that pose a significant public health risk (e.g., TB). 将进行彻底的风险评估, and students, faculty, 如果有暴露风险,会通知工作人员. 如果是这样,将向他们提供如何应对的指导.
教师能否询问学生的疫苗接种情况或豁免情况?
No, 教师不能问学生是否接种了疫苗或有豁免, because that is personal information. 他们将通过学生中心将这些信息提交给大学. It’s okay if students voluntarily disclose their status but asking them to do so could make them feel pressured to reveal what they wouldn’t otherwise disclose. 这是由学生的自由裁量权透露医疗信息或宗教信仰. 尽管校园里的大多数学生都会接种疫苗, it is best to assume someone you meet is unvaccinated for the safety of the entire campus community.
Testing
如果学生COVID-19检测呈阳性,该怎么办?
All faculty, staff, 如果出现症状,学生必须进行检测, 所有阳性检测结果必须继续报告给大学.
当学生COVID-19检测呈阳性时会发生什么?
学生健康和咨询服务将为学生提供指导, including a directive not to attend in-person classes until they receive permission to return. 学生也会被告知要自我隔离. 如果学生住在学校,学校将通知学生宿舍. 如果他们住在校外,将提供指导,以减少与他人的接触. A student who needs additional care (e.g.(医疗、精神病学、基本需求)将被告知如何获得.
如果是我检测出COVID-19呈阳性怎么办?
Employees who test positive for COVID-19 are asked to notify Risk Management by filling out the positive case reporting form. You should then continue working with your health care provider for medical support until you receive clearance to return to campus. If necessary, you should notify your supervisor that you need to take sick leave as you would normally do for any other illness. If you do not have symptoms, 你可以在测试结果呈阳性的五天后重新测试, and if that test is negative, you can return to campus.
如果同事COVID-19检测呈阳性怎么办?
你的同事将通过填写 positive case reporting form, and Risk Management as well as Human Resources/OFA will work together on appropriate notifications depending on the situation.
Face Covering
Are face coverings required?
As noted above, 确诊病例应隔离5天, and mask indoors when around others during the full 10 days following symptom onset (or positive test if no symptoms). However, if ending isolation before 10 full days (no fever without the use of fever-reducing medications and symptoms are improving), confirmed cases may remove their mask sooner than 10 full days after two sequential negative tests at least one day apart.
If antigen test results are positive, the person may still be infectious, 并应继续佩戴口罩,至少等待一天再进行下一次测试.
Exposed persons should mask for 10 days following an identified close contact to someone with COVID-19, especially high-risk contacts.
所有佩戴口罩的人员都应优化口罩的贴合和过滤, ideally through use of a respirator (N95, KN95, KF94) or surgical mask. See Get the Most out of Masking for more information.
