COVID-19 Information Center

The Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) and the Board of Regents continue to work collaboratively with local, county, state, and federal authorities to ensure that all NSHE students, faculty, employees, and visitors of any of NSHE’s eight institutions receive the best available information and practices regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19) to ensure the health of the entire public higher education community.

Meanwhile, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the State of Nevada have set up informational websites that can help answer frequently asked questions, such as what are the symptoms, prevention, and treatment.

NSHE Chancellor Rose is in daily communications with the Presidents of NSHE’s institutions and NSHE’s Internal Advisory COVID-19 Response Team is coordinating and collaborating on systemwide communications and strategies in NSHE’s continuing effort to prevent the spread of the virus and create a transparent and safe educational experience for Nevada’s public higher education community.

NSHE understands and shares the concerns of its students, faculty, staff and institutions’ communities regarding the outbreak of novel coronavirus (COVID-19). The health and wellbeing of Nevada’s public higher education community continues to be our utmost priority in the midst of this dynamic and evolving situation.

This page will be updated with the most recent information on NSHE communications related to COVID-19.

The Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) continues to follow all federal, state, and local directives to keep our community healthy and safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Nevada System of Higher Education Chancellor Melody Rose has issued an update regarding COVID-19 and face covering requirements for NSHE employees in Clark County. You can find her memo here: Chancellor’s Memo, July 27, 2021.

Due to Nevada’s low vaccination rate and a recent surge in the level of COVID-19 transmissions related to the Delta variant, the Office of the Governor issued emergency Directive No. 47 today, which adopts new Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines that re-instate a face covering mandate for all unvaccinated and vaccinated individuals in Nevada high-risk counties while in indoor public spaces.

This new face covering mandate has the force of law and is applicable to Nevada’s most high-risk counties as determined by the most recent CDC data, and includes counties where all NSHE institutions and primary campuses are located.* Accordingly, and effective Friday, July 30, 2021, all unvaccinated and vaccinated NSHE students, employees, and members of the public will be required to wear a face covering while inside any building or structure on any NSHE campus or property. This new mandate may remain in effect until the vaccination rate increases and the level of COVID-19 transmissions decreases in Nevada’s high-risk counties.

*Exceptions are in Humboldt County and Lander County where Great Basin College maintains satellite campuses.

NSHE continues to strongly encourage students and employees to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. Learn more about where to get a vaccine here: www.immunizenevada.org.

For more information contact the state Department of Health and Human Services’ Nevada COVID Vaccine Call Center at 800-401-0946. The Hotline is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily. Also, you can find the latest information on vaccinations through NVCOVIDFighter.org and NVHealthResponse.nv.gov .

As we transition into a new phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, compassion and patience are recommended towards all students and colleagues.  Employees may choose to continue wearing a face covering, even those who have been vaccinated.  They should be permitted to do so without judgment or criticism.

All students and employees are obligated to follow codes of conduct and workplace policies that demand honesty. Adherence to this updated face covering policy will be incumbent upon the personal integrity and civic responsibility of the individual.

Knowing and willful violations of this policy by a student or employee may result in disciplinary action.

Local counties retain authority over COVID-19 social distancing, building, and event capacity requirements. NSHE institutions must continue to follow their local county directives.

We all still must remain vigilant and follow appropriate health protocols, including monitoring personal health and continuing healthy hygiene practices, as the fight against COVID is not over.  COVID-19 policies remain subject to amendment whereby mitigation efforts or restrictions may be strengthened or relaxed.

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, NSHE has strictly adhered to all federal, state, and local directives to keep our community healthy and safe.  NSHE will continue to follow this practice.

Stay Informed and Be Prepared

For the NSHE community, we continue to emphasize:

“STAY INFORMED and BE PREPARED”

NSHE institutions have created or are in the process of creating web pages with regularly updated information. These web pages contain the latest information from a variety of sources, as well as tips for faculty, students and staff regarding issues that could arise from coronavirus.

Health, Wellness and Prevention

The best line of defense against novel coronavirus is to use the “best practices” associated with the CDC’s prevention guidelines. There is currently no vaccine to prevent coronavirus. The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. Everyday preventive actions include:

• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
• Stay home when you are sick.
• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
• Follow CDC’s recommendations for using a facemask.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
• If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty.

If You Are Sick

NSHE is encouraging the Nevada public higher education community to be mindful of their own health and contact a health-care provider if they are experiencing any of the known symptoms. Students at NSHE institutions should contact the campus Student Health Center.  NSHE institution leadership and faculty are working together to ensure that if students miss class due to illness, opportunities will be provided to make up missed work.

Perspective

We are reminding the state-wide NSHE community to please keep perspective about what is happening, demonstrate empathy to others, and show respect. We must avoid stereotyping or stigmatizing any individuals, ethnicities, or nationalities on our campus communities.  There continue to be a number of unknowns, but NSHE is urging everyone to stay calm, stay informed, and be prepared.

Please contact each NSHE institution for more information specific to that campus.
