The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is the leading authority in the United States on understanding and providing guidance around COVID-19. The situation is rapidly evolving and recommendations from the CDC and the U.S. Department of State change daily. PCA&D community members are encouraged to monitor the CDC and U.S. Department of State websites. The CDC has issued information regarding symptoms, prevention, and treatment, as well as a number of other frequently asked questions and answers.
Those who believe they may have been exposed to or infected with the novel coronavirus should seek medical care right away. Before you go to a clinic, doctor’s office or emergency room, call ahead and tell them about your recent travel and your symptoms. PCA&D students, faculty, and staff should consult their primary care doctor, or contact the Lancaster General Health Urgent Care Center and/or the Lancaster Health Center.
If you or a person you are living with do not need medical attention or are sent home after being hospitalized from COVID-19, the CDC also recommends action steps for Home Care.
PCA&D Community Reporting Guidance
To support the health and wellbeing of the PCA&D community, PCA&D asks students, faculty, and staff who have been exposed and/or who are showing symptoms of COVID-19, to report their situation to Dean of Students Jessica Edonick or their supervisor respectively. Students or family members of students in the Continuing Education and young artist programs should report exposure or COVID-19 infection to Director of Continuing Education Natalie Lascek.
