It takes all members of the Temple University community working together to keep ourselves and everyone safe and healthy. Were here to provide the support and resources you need. Youll find information about Temples response to the COVID-19 pandemic and our universitywide efforts, as well as responses to frequently asked questions.
Temples response to the COVID-19 pandemic continues to be informed by guidance issued by theCenters for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)and thecity of Philadelphia.
All students, faculty and staff should have received the COVID-19 vaccination.All eligible students, faculty and staff are urged to receive a COVID-19 booster as soon as possible.Learn more about how to get the COVID-19 booster at Temple.
Masks continue to be required in healthcare spaces, clinical spaces and in settings where clinical spaces are incorporated within the learning environment. Masks areoptional in all other indoor and outdoor, non-healthcare spaces.
When it comes to masking, we encourage all members of the Temple community to make the best decision for themselves, taking into consideration all factors, including COVID-19 transmission levels, the indoor setting and their own health, while respecting the decisions of others to protect themselves. If you are concerned about COVID-19, the best way to protect yourself is to wear a high-quality, well-fitting mask. The effectiveness of this type of one-way masking has been documented. When in doubt, we encourage you to put on a mask. Most importantly, we want to keep the vulnerable members of our community safe.
Following updated guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), cloth masks alone are no longer adequate for protecting yourself and others. The CDC recommends that you wear the most protective mask you can that fits well (completely covers your nose and mouth) and that you will wear consistently. Temple students and employees now have three options for how to mask while on campus.
University Housing and Residential Life as well as contact tracers will be working with any student who tests positive. Those who do test positive are encouraged to isolate at home and away from campus. We will, however, have a limited number of isolation rooms, which will be prioritized for students living in university housing.
We continue to follow CDC guidelines when it comes to quarantine and isolation. While a negative test is not required to leave isolation, we will require a negative test for a student in isolation who will be returning to a campus residence hall.

A close contact is defined by the CDC as being closer than six feet, for equal to or greater than 15 minutes to a person who has tested positive for, or is presumed to have, COVID-19.
If you are identified as a close contact or you identify yourself as a close contact, it does not mean that you will develop symptoms or test positive for COVID-19, but you must closely monitor your symptoms andpossibly need toquarantine. While being identified or self-identifying as a close contact is not an emergency situation, per se, it is very important that youtake steps immediately to limit all movement and interaction with others.
If you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, please refer to the guidance above and begin isolation.
Per CDC guidance, close contacts of a known COVID-19 positive case should obtain a test five days following the last day of exposure to the positive case.
If you received a booster shot, wear a mask for 10 days and get tested on day five, if possible.
If you are unvaccinated or you received the primary series of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine more than six months ago or the J&J vaccine over two months ago, you should quarantine for five days. Wear a mask for an additional five days. Get tested on day five, if possible.
You will need to report to Student Health Services that you believe you are in close contact with someone who has tested positive for, or is presumed to have, COVID-19.

Be sure to tell them your symptoms and inform if you believe you may have been in contact with someone with COVID-19. They can further screen you for COVID-19 and, if needed, help you get tested and recommend the next steps you should take.
It is important to note that a positive test will not affect your standing with the university. Our main goal will always be the health and safety of our students, faculty and staff, so that you can continue to work toward your learning goals.

The pandemic has changed the discourse of everyday life. The same holds true for the arts. Covid-19 has left its stamp on the art scene. An abundance of colorful masks, germ animations and portraits of health care works have circulated across social media.
Social media has become the worlds virtual art museum. The Covid Art Museum or CAM, an Instagram page that calls itself the worlds 1st museum for art born during COVID-19 crisis has a collection of pandemic-inspired art.
The page allows artists to submit work freely, and for many who have had to cancel their displays at galleries or art shows, this serves as an opportunity for exposure even during the pandemic.
Emmy Mulindwa is a senior art student at Houghton College. Mulindwa currently has her artwork on display in her schools art gallery. She said this was a huge achievement and opportunity that 2020 art graduates, unfortunately, did not get the opportunity to experience, as the gallery was closed during the pandemic.
I value public gatherings around art as well as having in-person critique as an art student more so now than before the pandemic, said Mulindwa
Before the pandemic, it would have been hard to imagine abstract paintings of mask wearers as a social norm, but now the image is both familiar and relatable.
With fewer social interactions, virtual art forms have been adopted, some artists choosing to use computers, tablets or smartphones to create their masterpiece. Meanwhile, others still desire to use a simple canvas or sketchbooks. Regardless of an artists preference, the pandemic has changed the way society views art and the ways artists create art.
Philadelphia artist, Bentley Brown said just hearing the term covid art makes him imagine artistic germs. While a number of COVID-inspired murals have appeared across the country, Brown said he misses the street artists he used to encounter here in Philadelphia.
Im used to seeing people selling art in the street, usually South street, but since the pandemic, I dont see street vendors anymore, said Brown.
Like other hobbies or passions, art has been used as a form of expression. During an era of a global pandemic, art has demonstrated solidary and inspiration for many people.
