COVID Update Fall 2023

While COVID cases are rising slightly nationally and in Washington, D.C., community levels in Washington, D.C. are still low. Since the  end of the public health emergency, students are no longer required to report COVID to the SHC or to the university. In addition, SHC will no longer track your isolation and release you from isolation. If you are a GW student who has tested positive for COVID, please use the following guidelines.
