Note: All information presented in this column is sourced from the Taylor Together, Again plan. Updates are provided weekly by the Pandemic Reopening Team (PeRT). Last updated Oct. 29. 

  • The CDC has revised the definition of close contact and it now includes a cumulative duration of 15 minutes or more over an entire 24-hour period starting from two days prior to symptoms. Since this revision, the Taylor Together Again plan has altered its definition to reflect this.

  • The Pandemic Reopening Team (PeRT) has released the following statement: “We experienced a slight increase in the number of positive cases this week. Diligence to wearing masks, social distancing, health checks, reporting travel, and hand washing continue to support a healthy community.”

  • In an email sent out to students on Oct. 28, Scott Barrett, director of residence life, encouraged students to continue to wear masks and social distance and to consider choosing a small bubble of people to interact with. 

  • As of Oct. 29, 14 students and three employees are in active isolation after testing positive from COVID-19, 124 students and seven employees are in active quarantine 

  • Since Aug. 16, 191 students and 25 Taylor employees have been released from isolation and quarantine. 

  • Students with questions about COVID-19 or who think they may have symptoms should call the Taylor University COVID-19 Hotline, 765.997.861
