Keeping Our Community Healthy: A Shared Responsibility

As we move forward in this new era, all Carthage community members — students, faculty, and staff — and campus visitors are expected to take steps to reduce risk for everyone.

• Wear a face mask when indoors and around others

  Face coverings are required indoors, in all common areas, during classes and meetings, and outdoors when physical distancing of at least 6 feet is not possible.

• Follow physical distancing guidelines
  

  Follow physical distancing guidelines whenever possible. Keep 6 feet distance as you pass others in hallways and when selecting your seat in a meeting or class. 

• Self-monitor for COVID-19 symptoms
  

  All students and employees should self-monitor for symptoms daily. Stay home or in your residence hall room if any symptoms are present.

• Practice good hygiene
  

  Wash your hands frequently, and for at least 20 seconds, with soap and water. Use hand sanitizer. Avoid touching your face or mask.

• Keep gatherings small and safe
  

  Limit gatherings and meetings to fewer than 10 people, and make sure all attendees wear face coverings.

• Contribute to a clean campus
  

  Do your part to keep your classroom, residence hall room, office, and workspace free of the virus. Sanitize shared equipment before and after use.
