URBANA, Ill. (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- The University of Illinois is spelling out more COVID-19 protocols for its Urbana-Champaign campus.
U of I sent a letter to students, faculty and staff this week saying that students who travel away from the Champaign-Urbana-Savoy area for fall break should not return to campus until the Spring semester.
U of I also said students who must return to campus or the local community after the break should test for COVID-19 as soon as possible after they return to campus and self-quarantine until test results are available.
Students then must test every other day until Dec. 18, the end of the fall 2020 semester.
U of I also said, among other things, that students who return to or have remained in the community after its fall break must limit themselves to essential activities only, such as testing, visiting the pharmacy and buying groceries through the end of the semester.
Last month, the university threatened to kick out a student for not following a quarantine order.
