CMCC COVID-19 Updates

Effective March 5, 2024:

STUDENTS:

The US CDC has eliminated the 5-day isolation period for those who test positive for COVID-19. The updated guidance states that people with COVID-19 may return to their daily activities if they have been fever-free for 24-hours (without medication) and their symptoms are improving.

However, the CDC stressed that those with COVID-19, RSV or Influenza may still be contagious to others, even without symptoms, and should take steps to avoid spreading their respiratory virus. Respiratory Virus Guidance (cdc.gov).

Central Maine Community College recommends that anyone who feels unwell stay home if possible and, if coming to campus, please wear a mask, cover your cough and wash your hands frequently. We are all more aware of simple steps that can be taken in order to avoid infecting others or prolonging our own recovery. Please check with your faculty members if you have any questions about how to make up lost class time.

UPDATES:

Effective February 22, 2023, proof of vaccination against COVID-19 is no longer required for students to enroll in on-campus courses or access in-person services.

Due to external site requirements (mainly hospitals), students some programs (including but not limited to Nursing and Medical Assistant) may be required to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination prior to attending their first in-person class.

Further, COVID-19 vaccination and corresponding boosters are strongly recommended.

If you have questions, please contact the COVID Response Team at covidresponse@cmcc.edu.

VISITING CAMPUS AND WEARING MASKS

Individuals coming to campus no longer need to complete the daily pre-screening form. Masks continue to be optional unless an individual has tested positive for COVID-19 and is returning to campus during the 6-10 day window after testing positive or developing symptoms.

If you are experiencing symptoms or test positive for COVID-19, please email the COVID Response team at covidresponse@cmcc.edu as soon as possible. In your email, please provide the following information:

When you began experiencing symptoms or when you tested positive
When and where you were last on campus
Your vaccination status
A good contact phone number

A member of the COVID Response team will be in touch to provide isolation guidelines, a return-to-campus date, and conduct contact tracing if necessary.
