Expectations of a Huskie
At NIU, we value and appreciate that every Huskie contributes different experiences, perspectives and beliefs to our community. In this extraordinary time, being a Huskie means committing to the following:
-
•
Strongly Consider Getting the COVID-19 Vaccine
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), vaccines are safe and effective at preventing COVID-19.
-
•
Test If You Have Symptoms
If you have symptoms, test for COVID-19. If you test positive, follow these guidelines. -
•
Use Proper Hand Hygiene
Wash your hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer (60% alcohol) if a hand-washing station isn’t available. -
•
Follow Face Mask and Other Guidelines
Keep current with health and safety guidance, including when and where face masks are required. We'll keep you informed through email and this website. -
•
Consider Getting a Flu Shot
While getting a flu (influenza) vaccine will not protect against COVID-19, it can reduce your risk from flu and help conserve health care resources. Having the flu and COVID-19 at the same time can be dangerous for high-risk patients.
