The Duke Chronicle • • health
Key Points:
- COVID-19 cases and emergency room visits for COVID-like symptoms are rising among students at Duke University and in the Durham area, with at least 16 positive cases reported on campus since move-in day, though the actual number is likely higher.
- Students are advised to isolate until symptom-free and fever-free for 24 hours without medication and to wear masks for at least five additional days after isolation to protect peers, especially those with underlying health conditions.
- Duke Student Health offers same-day medical visits, COVID testing, and after-hours virtual care through TimelyCare, along with a new dean’s excuse form for absences due to illness lasting more than three days.
- COVID cases among Duke employees remain lower than historical averages, suggesting the current outbreak is concentrated among students.
- Flu vaccination clinics will be held across campus with extensive availability, and students are encouraged to get vaccinated against both the flu and COVID-19, with COVID vaccines expected to be available on campus soon.
