COVID-19 Vaccine Update
- SUU is now mask-friendly. This means that students, faculty, staff, and visitors are welcome, but not required, to wear masks inside campus buildings.
-
The on-campus COVID testing site has been suspended until further notice. Testing was available for the first two weeks of the summer term and only 66 tests had been conducted, with four resulting in positive cases. With fewer students on campus and more people being vaccinated, there is less demand for testing. For those who would like to be tested, community resources for testing are still available including Cedar City InstaCare and TestUtah.
-
If you test positive for COVID 19, please quarantine and inform anyone that you have recently been in contact with. Self-reporting and contact tracing will no longer be conducted by the University. Isolation and quarantine requirements still apply to those that test positive or are exposed to a person who has COVID--the specific timeframes and requirements, which vary depending on the circumstances and vaccination status, are available at the Utah Coronavirus website.
- Stay diligent and help keep campus clean. University employees and students should participate in frequent cleaning and disinfecting of high-touch areas. SUU Facilities will supply departments and instructional spaces with hand sanitizer, wipes, and cleaning disinfectant.
-
All Utahns 12 years and older are eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. All faculty, staff, and students who would like to receive the vaccination should work directly with the Southwest Utah Public Health Department and other local locations providing vaccines.
We are continuing to monitor the situation and will follow all state and local procedures. We will update the campus community if anything changes or new information becomes available. Thank you for your patience and understanding during all of this.
SUU is not requiring students to get a vaccine now or to come back for Fall semester.
