Resources
Emory University continues to closely monitor the COVID-19 pandemic. Our commitment to the health and safety of our community is paramount.
A team of representatives from across the university, including those from emergency preparedness, health care, and campus life, is working hard to protect students, faculty, and staff. We also continue to work closely with local and state partners.
You can find resources for the general community here.
As students, faculty, and staff have returned to campus, the university has instituted rigorous protocols around testing and behavioral expectations for those on campus. Emory's COVID-19 Dashboard has information about cases of COVID-19 affecting members of the Emory community.

If you have traveled to an affected geographic area within the past 14 days or have been in contact with someone suspected of or confirmed to have COVID-19 and are experiencing fever, cough, or trouble breathing, please contact your health care provider for assessment and further direction.
If you are symptomatic: Stay home and notify your primary care provider and call the Emory Healthcare COVID Information and Nurses line at 404-71-COVID (404.712.6843) for consultation.
