We’re making sure you can study safely

We have installed hand sanitizer stations across all campuses, purchased antiseptic wipes so that our employees can clean desks and surfaces between each user, and reminded everyone to practice good hygiene and exercise other common-sense safety precautions. In short, we are making every effort to ensure that this is a safe place to study.

YOUR HEALTH AND COVID-19

How to protect yourself

To minimize the spread of any respiratory illness including the flu and COVID-19, please practice basic prevention measures. Wash your hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol content if soap and water are not available, stay home when you are sick, cover coughs and sneezes, avoid close contact with people who are sick, and avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands. Avoid shaking hands with others; instead rely on fist bumps, elbow bumps, or waves to greet without contact.

Symptoms

Symptoms of COVID-19 include fever, cough, and shortness of breath. Additional symptoms may include congestion, chills, repeated shaking with chills, headache, loss of taste, muscle pain or sore throat. If you have tested positive or are experiencing symptoms or you've been around someone who has, please complete a COVID-19 reporting form at https://www.gvltec.edu/covid-form/ and an investigator will provide guidance.
