Stay home and isolate for 5 days after symptoms first appeared AND until symptoms have improved.
If you have a fever, continue to stay at home until 24 hours have passed after the fever.
Notify Eli Zucksworth, the Redlands Institutional Compliance Officer.
Contact your instructors to make arrangements to keep up with coursework.

If I test positive for COVID-19 but don't have symptoms, what should I do?

Stay home and isolate for 5 days after your COVID-19 test AND if no symptoms have developed. If symptoms develop, follow the protocol above for a person who tests positive and has symptoms.
If you have a fever, continue to stay at home until 24 hours have passed after the fever.
Notify Eli Zucksworth, the Redlands Institutional Compliance Officer.
Contact your instructors to make arrangements to keep up with coursework.

If I’ve been exposed to someone with COVID-19, what should I do?

Wear a mask around others for 10 days after exposure.
Get tested at least 5 full days after your last exposure.
If test is Negative, continue taking precautions through day 10 and wear a high-quality mask when around others at home and indoors in public.
If test is Positive, isolate immediately and follow CDC guidelines.

Oklahoma Health Department recommendation for calculating your isolation or quarantine start and end date:

Isolation: Day your symptoms started (day zero)
Isolation: Day you tested, if never symptomatic (day zero)
Quarantine: Last day of exposure (day zero)

Vaccination Information

To prevent the spread of COVID-19 and its variants, we strongly recommend the use of masks on campus regardless of your vaccination status. If you have been vaccinated but are unsure if you are eligible for a booster, visit the CDC vaccination site. If you haven’t been vaccinated or are due a booster, we encourage you to make an appointment at one of these local sites. COVID-19 vaccines are available at no cost. However, if you have insurance it is suggested that you bring the card with you.

COVID-19 Information and Resources

We are continuously monitoring the situation concerning COVID-19 (commonly referred to as the coronavirus) and its potential impact to our campus community. We are committed to making decisions that promote the success and well-being of our campus community and growing concerns across the state. Like an increasing number of colleges and universities nationwide, Redlands Community College is taking additional important steps to provide a safe, learning experience for our students.

CDC Resources & Vaccine Information

The CDC's website includes information on How to Protect Yourself & Others as well as a Coronavirus Self-Checker. If you have questions about scheduling a vaccination, contact the Canadian County Health Department and follow its Facebook page for updates.

Face Coverings

As a result of Gov. Stitt's executive order, we will not be requiring masks but we encourage everyone to continue wearing masks in the classroom. If students are enrolled in a lab, they will be required to wear personal protective equipment as directed by science faculty. As stated in the order, nothing in the Executive Order should be interpreted to restrict a person's right to wear a mask in a state or public building. Individuals may voluntarily continue to wear a mask. We encourage everyone to get vaccinated, but vaccinations and masks are not required. Visit the state vaccination portal to find a location and make an appointment, or visit one of the local sites listed above.
