COVID-19 Guidance for SLCC Employees

The guidelines and resources below are intended to aid your transition and meet other needs related to the coronavirus pandemic, in accordance with recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and state and county health departments.

Guidelines

Stay home and seek medical attention if you experience any of the following symptoms:

• Fever; coughing; trouble breathing; sore throat; muscle aches and pains; sudden changes in smell or taste; or if you feel unwell.

While on campus:

• Stay 6 feet from others
• Wash hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds
• Use hand sanitizer when handwashing is not possible; hand-sanitizing stations are readily available on all campuses
• Avoid touching your face
• Do not shake hands
• Cover coughs or sneezes (e.g., into a tissue, or inside of your elbow)
• Regularly clean high-touch surfaces (e.g., door handles, counters, light switches, remote controls, restroom surfaces, arms of chairs) in between in-person appointments
• Shared equipment and workstations should be sanitized after each use
• Dispose of masks and gloves in trash receptacles, not recycling bins
• In-person interactions should take place only in groups consisting of 50 or fewer people
• Wear a face covering, following state requirements

Face coverings are required for everyone on campus.

Cloth face coverings provide a guard against spreading potentially infected droplets to other individuals and discourage people from touching their faces and possibly infecting themselves with unclean hands. SLCC requires all students, employees and visitors to wear face coverings on campus in the following locations:

• Inside all classrooms, labs and other learning spaces
• At all on-campus events
• In all public spaces, including classrooms, hallways, lobbies, break rooms, study areas, restrooms and elevators
• In all shared work areas and shared vehicles
• In all private meeting spaces, conference areas, private offices, outdoor venues, hallways, elevators, lobbies, break rooms, study areas and restrooms if 6-foot social distancing is not possible

In employee break rooms, face coverings are not required while eating; however, breaks should be rotated in a way that discourages gatherings.

Face coverings are not required in offices occupied by a single individual or in open areas protected by plexiglass screens. If two or more people are meeting or working in an office or in an open work area, face coverings should be worn by all.

See SLCC's Face Covering Policy for more details.

Face coverings must fit snugly against the side of the face and completely cover the nose and mouth. Disposable face coverings intended for one-time use are also acceptable, as long as the wearer follows the manufacturer's directions.
