If you travel (or not), please continue to practice the following healthy habits:
- Wash your hands frequently

- Stay home when you are sick (do not go to class or work)
- Cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth
- Practice good hygiene and other good health habits such as cleaning and disinfecting surfaces, getting plenty of sleep, managing stress, drinking plenty of fluids and eating nutritious food.
We encourage everyone to be diligent in helping to prevent the spread of illness. Students, if you experience any symptoms, please contact the Earle Student Health Center at 864.522.2000. Faculty and staff, please visit the Employee On-Site Clinic or contact your preferred health care provider.
