NSU Releases New COVID-19 Protocols for Shark Community
COVID-19 is still a part of our daily lives; however, it is no longer novel, and we celebrate ready access to vaccines and new therapeutics. As we reflect over the last few years, we recognize that NSU Sharks are well informed on how best to protect themselves and others from COVID-19. As such, on June 30, 2022, NSU ended COVID case reporting. Students, faculty, and staff may still get infected with COVID-19, and they are expected to follow the latest CDC guidance. The CDC website now provides a tool for individuals to calculate their own quarantine timeline. College programs have absentee policies in place for students, and employees will continue to follow the NSU sick leave process.
The NSU coronavirus website has been updated to include a link to the CDC isolation/quarantine calculator. Home test kits are available for purchase at the NSU Pharmacy in Davie or you can search for a site near you. For the benefit of all Sharks, those who are feeling unwell are expected to stay home.

The COVID-19 vaccination site run by the Florida Department of Health (DOH) at the Fort Lauderdale/Davie Campus ended operations on June 30, 2022. The NSU Pharmacy in Davie will continue to offer the Moderna vaccine.
