Close contact defined
According to the Minnesota Department of Health: “In general, a close contact means being less than 6 feet from someone for 15 minutes or more throughout a 24-hour period. However, even shorter periods of time or longer distances can result in spread of the virus. The longer someone is close to the person who has COVID-19, and the closer they are, the greater the chance the virus can spread.
If you have been on campus and
a) you have tested positive for COVID-19 or
b) you have been in close contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19:
- Complete the COVID-19 Reporting Form found on this website. Dean Lynn LeMoine will follow up with students and Andrea Bien, Director of Human Resources, will follow up with employees.
- If you have tested positive for COVID-19, you will receive information about when you may return to the law school.
Students should review the full list of COVID-19 policies found in the law school catalog.
