Missouri S&T continues to monitor the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation and take appropriate action when necessary. See below for the latest information or visit our FAQ page.
Guidelines for if you feel sick
- If you have a temperature greater than 100˚ F, do not come to campus.
- If you feel sick with unexplained symptoms* but do not have a fever, do not come to campus.
- If you are a student and have a fever or feel sick, call Student Health Services at 573-341-4284. Find more information on student resources.
- If you are an employee and have a fever or feel sick, contact your local health care provider and your supervisor. Find more information on employee resources.
- For health and safety tips, download this Stop the Spread flyer.
* “unexplained symptoms” refers to symptoms you would not normally experience. For example, if you frequently have headaches, that would not be an unexplained symptom.
Guidelines for face coverings
Missouri S&T issued the Health and Safety Standards Policy Memorandum No. I-12 on July 1, 2020, setting a university policy on required face coverings. This policy considers the current state of science in developing a facial covering response to COVID-19.
Face coverings are an additional step to help slow the spread of COVID-19 when combined with everyday preventive actions and social distancing in public settings. Face coverings are especially important to keep people who don’t know they have the virus from transmitting it to others.
Additional information about the policy is available in the Missouri S&T Face Covering Policy Guideline.
Examples of acceptable face coverings
Face coverings must cover the individual’s mouth and nose. Examples of acceptable face coverings include:
- Cloth ear-loop face coverings
- Clear plastic ear-loop face coverings
- Non-medical disposable face masks
Please note: Face coverings with exhalation valves or vents should NOT be worn to help prevent the person wearing the face covering from spreading COVID-19 to others. Exhalation valves or vents can allow for respiratory droplets to pass through and possibly reach others.”
