We are requiring that undergraduates confirm their status with a negative antigen test out of an abundance of caution. Per CDC guidance, individuals do not need to test to be released from isolation. Therefore, it is not required that faculty and staff have a negative antigen test before returning to work or the classroom. If they are feeling better with a decrease in symptoms, they may return to campus on day six (after testing positive) provided they wear a mask at all times and be careful around others.

Visitors are welcome to campus, provided they are vaccinated and boosted and follow the university’s indoor masking requirements and other COVID-19 safety guidelines. For more information, see our guidelines for campus visitors.

All visitors to Tufts campuses must be fully vaccinated and boosted. We do not always have the ability to check for proof of vaccination, but all visitors should be made aware of the policy. For more information, see our guidelines for campus visitors.

Per CDC guidance, fully boosted and vaccinated individuals should monitor for symptoms but may report to work. If you have further questions, please follow CDC guidelines.
