 To start the Fall 2020 semester, a maximum of one guest per resident is permitted at a time.  The guest policy may change depending on local conditions.
Remain in your apartment (do not go to class, work, etc.) and contact your health provider. They will give you additional guidance/instructions on how to proceed.
Upon notification of a positive test, you should be given guidance and instructions from a medical health professional.  Once you have received notification, contact housing staff as soon as possible.  Staff will give you additional guidance and instructions designed to assist in your recovery and help protect your roommates and fellow housing residents.
