Guidance for Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs) | CDC
IHE administrators should create programs and policies that facilitate the adoption and implementation of prevention strategies to slow the spread of COVID-19 at the IHE and in the local community. Evidence-based prevention strategies, including vaccination, should be implemented and layered in IHE settings. Key prevention strategies include:
- Offer and promote COVID-19 vaccination
- Consistent and correct use of masks
- Physical distancing
- Testing for COVID-19
- Maintaining healthy environments (increased ventilation and cleaning)
- Handwashing and respiratory etiquette
- Staying home when sick and getting tested
- Contact tracing in combination with quarantine
- Cleaning and disinfection
- Additional considerations
CDC recommends everyone wear a well-fitting mask or respirator in all public indoor settings in areas of substantial or high community transmission.
