Streamlined Advice for All Respiratory Viruses Updated for Fall 2024

If possible, stay home and away from others if you have symptoms of a respiratory virus.  Symptoms of respiratory viruses such as RSV, flu and COVID include fever (a temperature of 100.4 F/38.0 C or greater), cough, runny nose, nasal congestion, sore throat, fatigue and headache. You can go back to your normal activities when, for at least 24 hours:

  • Your symptoms are getting better overall, and
  • You have not had a fever (and are not using fever-reducing medications)

When you return to your normal activities, take added precautions over the next 5 days, such as physical distancing, wearing a mask and good hand hygiene. Read more about the CDC’s respiratory guidance

The Student Health & Counseling Center is closely tracking the global outbreak of mpox, which continues to spread in the United States and New York State. We work closely with the Clinton County Health Department to ensure that we have the latest information and guidance, and we are ready to provide medical support if needed.
