Have you been tested for COVID-19?
Virginia Western has moved to align with the revised quarantine guidelines published by the CDC and Virginia Department of Health (VDH) around the new year. While each case will be navigated individually, the general guidelines are as follows:
- After a positive test result, stay home and isolate for at least 5 days from the day your symptoms started or you received a positive test (if not symptomatic). Wear a well-fitting mask around others at home.
- Wear a well-fitting mask around others for an additional 5 days once quarantine has ended.
- An individual who has been exposed to the virus may not need to quarantine if they are up-to-date on their vaccines or have had COVID-19 in the last 6 months, but they should monitor for symptoms for 10 days after exposure.

If you have more questions about staying home or practicing social distancing, please contact your local health department.
Virginia Western’s priority during the COVID-19 pandemic is to maintain the health and safety of our students, employees and community. If you believe you may have contracted the virus and are being tested, please let us know so that we may adequately clean campus areas and prepare a response.
