The Jim Jarrett Annex will be closed from Friday, March 4, through Sunday, March 13, so please plan accordingly. Students, faculty, and staff interested in getting tested for COVID-19 or a vaccination dose should schedule an appointment on campus before they leave by visiting the Monarch Wellness Portal. Do not test for COVID-19 if you had a positive result within the past 90-days.

If you are exposed or test positive during Spring Break, please report it by visiting the Monarch Wellness Portal and click on the Forms menu tab at the top and complete the COVID-19 Daily Check-In.

If you are planning to travel within the United States during Spring Break, please consult the CDC Travel Guidelines in preparation for your trip. Please review the updated CDC International Travel Guidelines prior to departure. Consult the CDC Quick Reference Flow Chart prior to returning to the U.S. for additional guidance.

Please continue to protect yourself and others by following the recommended CDC Guidelines - wearing your mask, washing your hands, and getting vaccinated. For more information contact COVIDCares@odu.edu and have a wonderful break!

With Monarch Pride,
