Spring 2023 COVID-19 Guidelines

• Skidmore will continue to follow CDC recommendations for masking on campus. When the Community Level is “low” (as it is now) or “medium,” masking indoors will not be required on campus but will continue to be supported. When the Community Level is “high,” masking indoors will be required.
• Skidmore continues to be a mask-supportive and mask-friendly community. Individuals, including those at high risk, should feel free and comfortable to wear a mask whenever and wherever they wish.
• Mask wearing is strongly recommended while traveling, in high-density settings where are large group is gathered for an extended period, or in other places where transmission may be more likely.
• If you know you have been exposed to COVID-19 or if you are symptomatic, please do not attend group gatherings or events.
• Masks will be made available at all public events. Individuals or groups hosting events may continue to obtain free KN95 masks through Facilities.
• Free KN95 masks will continue to be available to all members of the Skidmore community, as well as visitors, at Campus Safety and at the Case Information Desk.

• Students may continue to pick up free rapid tests at Case Information Desk or at Campus Safety. Please mask up and test if symptoms develop.
• For staff and faculty: Please be aware that four free covid tests/household are available through https://www.covid.gov/tests. Additionally, MVP will cover the costs of rapid COVID tests. Please use these avenues as your primary resources for obtaining free tests. If you have an immediate need or are concerned about a workplace exposure, you may pick up a test at Campus Safety or the Case Information Desk.
• If you test positive, students must notify covidsupport@skidmore.edu. Faculty and staff are asked to alert their supervisor and Human Resources.
• Vaccinations remain among our best defenses in protecting ourselves and others. If you have not received your COVID booster or your flu shot, please consider doing so as soon as you are eligible.

• All visitors to campus are now strongly encouraged (not required) to be fully vaccinated, including booster.
