The health and safety of Windward Community College’s students, faculty, staff and community is our top priority. This page contains campus-related information in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. See the CDC website for COVID-19 information.

These are key highlights from the University of Hawai‘i COVID-19 guidelines:

If you test positive for COVID-19:

• Isolate for 5 days.
• You may return to work or classes if you have been fever-free for 24 hours.
• Wear a mask for an additional 5 days around others.

If you have symptoms that could be COVID-19:

• Isolate until you are able to confirm a negative test (home testing with the nasal swab is adequate).
• If you have a fever, you should remain home until you are fever-free for 24 hours.

It is recommended individuals NOT come to campus if:

• You (1) have COVID-19 symptoms, or (2) tested positive for COVID-19, regardless if you have symptoms. You should isolate for at least 5 days (until you are fever free for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication and your symptoms are improving).
  • After the isolation period has ended, you may return to campus and must wear a well-fitting mask around others, in all settings, for an additional 5 days; do not go to places where you cannot wear a mask, such as restaurants and some gyms; avoid travel and being around people who are at high risk.
  • If you were severely ill with COVID-19, you should isolate for at least 10 days and consult your healthcare provider before ending isolationhttps://www.hawaii.edu/covid19/.
• You are subject to a healthcare provider’s orders to quarantine.

Reporting a Positive COVID Case or Exposure

The first step to report a positive COVID-19 test or an exposure to someone who tested positive for COVID-19 for all campus community members is to complete the WCC Contact Tracing form. When completed, the campus community member will be contacted by a Response Team Member for their next steps. You may reach the WCC COVID Response Team via email at covidwcc@hawaii.edu or by phone at (808) 462-4715.
