Masking 

  • Masks are still required on Duke buses and shuttles, and in patient and clinical settings for all individuals, regardless of vaccination status. 
  • Masking will continue to be encouraged in classrooms for anyone who is concerned or is at high-risk for severe disease.
  • Anyone who is experiencing COVID-19 symptoms should wear a mask, not report to work or attend classes, and get tested as soon as possible. Please be considerate to others and wear a mask whenever you have any cold-like symptoms, even after a negative COVID test.
  • Masks may still be required in other locations based on specific circumstances, so carry a mask and be prepared to wear it, if needed. Please continue to respect an individual’s decision to wear a mask even if it is not required.

Symptomatic – If you are experiencing COVID symptoms:

  • Students experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 should use the SymMon app to report their symptoms or contact Student Health by email (dshcheckin@duke.edu) or by phone during business hours at 919-681-9355 and choose option 2 to speak to a triage nurse.
  • Do not report to class (or work), and contact Student Health for symptomatic testing.

Positive Test – If you test positive:

  • Report your results
  • Employee Health or Student Health will follow up on all new positive results that are submitted.

Exposure – If you are exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID:

  • For Students: call Student Health during business hours at 919-681-9355 and choose option 2 to speak to a triage nurse.
  • For Staff & Employees: call the Duke COVID hotline (919-385-0429 option 1 for employees) for assessment and COVID-19 testing. By contacting the hotline, you will register with Employee Health and must complete the Duke employee survey that will be sent to your email. Employee Health will contact you within 24 hours. You must self-isolate until cleared by Employee Health to return to work.
