  • Self-isolate at home and do not go to work/class in-person.
  • Stay home, wear a face covering, and avoid contact with others - including those you live with.
  • Contact your manager or Campus Health (if you are a student) to let them know about your absence from work or class.
  • Seek care and advice from one of the following clinical team(s): Occupational Medicine, your primary care provider, or Campus Health. If you would like to speak to a Penn Medicine clinician to discuss your situation, please call the PennOpen Pass call center 215-573-6355.
