Quarantine and Isolation Procedures
If one or more cases of a potentially quarantinable disease is diagnosed or suspected among a member of the student population, the Director of Student Health Services or the Contract Physician will immediately contact the New London Health Department and/or the Connecticut Department of Public Health for guidance. Alternately, the Occupational Health and Wellness Manager will report staff or faculty illness.
Connecticut College will follow the recommendations of public health authorities in managing any disease outbreak among members of the campus community.
. If one or more students report symptoms of a reportable/quarantinable disease, the Connecticut College Contract Physician will immediately isolate the patient in the Warnshuis Student Health Center, and request guidance from the Connecticut Department of Public Health.
. If one or more students require isolation or quarantine, the Director of Health Services, the Contract Physician, the Dean of Student Life, and the local health authority will consult with the Vice President for Administration, and determine the most appropriate campus location for housing those individuals.
. The Vice President for Administration will coordinate this plan with the Infectious Disease Response Committee, to ensure that necessary services such as housing and food for quarantined individuals are available.
. Student Health Services will coordinate with outside agencies (collection of specimens, laboratory testing, immunization, and treatment of victims).
. Student Health Services personnel will notify the families of affected students. The Office of Student Life will provide information to the remainder of the student body.
. The Office of the Vice President for College Relations will keep faculty, staff and concerned parents informed, and coordinate any media releases that are necessary.
Essential Personnel
In the event that the college is closed because of disease outbreak, certain essential services will need to be continued. Foremost among those services are security of campus facilities, and maintenance of utilities. In addition, there will most likely a need to continue some level of food services for those remaining on campus. Personnel deemed vital to maintaining basic services, will be identified beforehand, and will be given personal protective equipment, and training on appropriate infection control procedures.
International Travel
Connecticut College will adhere to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and State Department recommendations and restrictions regarding overseas travel for members of the campus community. Individuals suspected of being infected with a transmissible illness upon arrival in the U.S., may be subject to isolation or quarantine at the port of entry. All travelers returning from countries that have had confirmed cases of infectious pandemic illness, are not to return to campus until the incubation period has passed, and the individual is cleared by a physician. (See Appendix B.)
Foreign faculty and/or students applying for nonimmigrant visas (temporary admission) may be required to undergo a medical examination at the discretion of the consular officer overseas, or immigration officer at the U.S. port of entry. Individuals suspected of being infected with an infectious disease upon arrival in the U.S., may be subject to isolation or quarantine at the port of entry. Again, Connecticut College will adhere to any travel restrictions imposed by the State Department and the CDC for foreign faculty and students.
SUSPICIOUS PACKAGES
Infectious, toxic or explosive letters or packages may be sent to members of the campus community. Suspicious letters or packages may have one or more of the following characteristics:
. Return address or name is unfamiliar.

. Have no return address, or have one that cannot be verified as legitimate.
