Updated Covid-19 Guidance
As of July 13, 2022, Governor Pritzker’s Executive Order has been amended. Higher
education personnel and students who are not fully vaccinated against COVID-19 no
longer require weekly surveillance testing. Furthermore, faculty, students and staff
no longer must submit proof of vaccination.
As of August 11, 2022, the CDC updated the following:
Regardless of your vaccination status, one no longer needs to quarantine if exposed
to COVID-19. Instead, the CDC recommends to wear a high-quality mask for 10 days.
If you test positive for COVID-19, isolate for 5 days. End isolation after day 5 and
wear a mask around others through day 10.
The CDC now recommends case investigation and contact tracing only in health care settings and certain high-risk congregate settings.
The CDC de-emphasized the 6-feet distance rule and continues to emphasize the improvement
of ventilation.
Kishwaukee College has received COVID-19 relief money from the federal and state governments.
Higher Education Emergency Relief Funds (HEERF) include CARES; GEERS; CRRSSA; and
American Rescue Plan.
Monkeypox is a rare disease caused by infection with the monkeypox virus. Monkeypox
