  • Corporate Authors:
    National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases (U.S.). Division of Viral Diseases.
  • Description:
    Updated Sept. 30, 2020

    These interim considerations are based on what is currently known about the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) as of the date of posting, September 30, 2020.

    These U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) considerations are meant to supplement—not replace—any federal, state, local, territorial, or tribal health and safety laws, rules, and regulations with which Institutions of Higher Education (IHE) must comply. Implementation should be guided by what is feasible, practical, and acceptable, as well as tailored to the needs of each community.

    CDC will update these considerations as needed and as additional information becomes available. Please check the CDC website periodically for updated interim guidance.

    The following guidance is meant to help college and university administrators protect students, faculty, and staff from COVID-19 infections and slow the spread of the virus. This document includes considerations for expanded and widespread testing; provides a tiered approach to testing in the context of an outbreak; gives examples of successful entry and periodic screening strategies; and discusses the likelihood of off-campus transmission. This guidance is an update to the “Interim Considerations for Institutions of Higher Education Administrators for SARS-CoV-2 Testing” published on June 30, 2020.
