LSUS COVID-19 Resource Page
The LSUS administration is working closely with the LSU system, along with local, state, and federal health officials to monitor the developments related to the Novel Coronavirus, known as COVID-19.
LSUS will continue to closely follow all developments related to the Novel Coronavirus and will keep the campus community apprised of any major changes in the situation.
Below you'll find how to report your case should you become infected, our latest campus directives on vaccination and mask-wearing, as well as the current protocol should you be exposed.
If you have been in direct contact (within 6 feet of an infected person
for a cumulative total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period starting from 2 days before illness onset) with someone who has COVID-19, have symptoms of COVID-19, have had a COVID-19 test, or have tested positive for COVID-19.
