  • Faculty - What happens when a student notifies me that they have tested positive for COVID?

    Advise the student that they should contact Health Services at (717) 871-5250 if they have not already done so.  Health Services instructs and educates all students on their responsibilities in identifying and contacting significant exposure concerns. Health Services will then evaluate and test as necessary all students who present to Health Services because of these notifications.

  • Workers Compensation - I believe I contracted COVID-19 at work. Is the illness covered under PA Workers' Compensation laws?

    Yes, but since it is difficult to know if a person who contracts COVID-19 got the virus at work (because the virus is everywhere), it may not be covered by our workers' compensation carrier. No test can determine exactly where and when a person contracts COVID-19.
