UNF’s current policy for isolation and student protection remains the same.
“For those who test positive for COVID-19, isolate for five days from the onset of symptoms or from the date of the positive test result if no symptoms. Day 0 is the day of onset of symptoms or date of positive test result if no symptoms. After Day 5, if fever-free without the use of fever-reducing medications and improvement of symptoms, resume work/classes and wear a mask for five more days,” as written on the Student Health Services website.

Spinnaker will continue to follow COVID-19 cases at UNF.
