SAFETY & RESPECT VIDEO SERIES

Wading through change

The struggle is real. You crave connection, but are limited in how you can be with your friends and expand your circle safely. Hear how five OHIO students are making life work in a pandemic amid pressures and fears from all sides.

BE SAFE BOBCATS.

MONITORING

Daily Symptom Checks

Each day before you intend to set foot on campus, you are required to monitor your health through the campus symptom checker. If you receive a "red status," do not come onto campus. Instead, begin to self-isolate and contact the OhioHealth hotline for next steps.

PREVENTION

Personal Protection 

All OHIO students, faculty and staff will be provided two reusable masks, a digital thermometer and hand sanitizer upon arrival to campus. We are thrilled to see so many students abiding by and reinforcing the mask mandate and the OHIO Pledge amongst your peers. 

TRACKING & SANITATION

Incident Report

If within 48 hours of being on campus you experience symptoms, test positive for COVID-19, or come in contact with someone who has a confirmed or suspected case, fill out an incident report. This will help OHIO track cases, notify departments and sanitize necessary spaces.

HEALTH RESOURCES

OhioHealth Hotline

If you become ill, call the new hotline to report your symptoms, ask questions, and gain access to resources such as testing. The hotline will operate 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends, and can be reached at (877) 682-6819.
