Policy for Testing Positive

What is the policy if a sub-I or clerkship student tests positive for COVID?

Answer

Stay at home.  Isolate.  Self-monitor.  Contact SHCS via the secure portal.  A SHCS clearance letter is required before returning to sub-I or clerkship.  Except for rare situations, repeat COVID-19 testing prior to return to work is NOT recommended by CDC & SDPH.  If you have a positive test, you will need to self-isolate for 10 days (if asymptomatic).
