COVID-19 Safety Guidelines and Policies
An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public space where people are present. We cannot guarantee you won't be exposed to COVID-19 by visiting ICP or participating in a course or workshop. Those visiting or joining a course or workshop do so at their own risk of such exposure.
Please Stay Vigilant. Not Feeling Well? Stay Home
While the current COVID trends are positive we ask that you please do not come into ICP facilities if you have COVID-19 symptoms. If you have symptoms, please consider getting tested on day 5.
NOTE: If you had a fever, you must be fever-free for 24 hours without the use of medication and all other symptoms must show improvement before returning.
If You Are Diagnosed with COVID-19
ICP community members (staff, students, faculty) who test positive for COVID-19 should continue to follow the CDCs recommended protocols, which can be found here.
Additionally, please be sure to do the following:
- Isolate for 5 days.
- Inform your close contacts (anyone you have been in contact with for at least 10 minutes)
- Return after 5 days, if you are fever-free for 24 hours without the use of medication, and your symptoms are improving, or if you never had symptoms.
- End isolation after day 5 but wear a high-quality mask through day 10.
If You Know that You were Exposed to COVID-19
- You may report to ICP facilities, but we recommend that you wear a high-quality mask for 10 days.
- Consider getting tested on day 5.
- If you begin experiencing symptoms, you should not report to ICP facilities, and we recommend getting tested.
