The measures designed to keep you safe at UNH Manchester include:
If you test positive, you must upload your positive test to UNH Health & Wellness so they may contact you regarding isolation timing and masking requirements.
Everyone who tests positive must isolate for five days and wear an N95 or equivalent mask for 10 days. As per CDC recommendations, you may end isolation on day 5 but must continue to wear a mask until day 11.
If on day 5 you take a rapid test and are negative, you may take another rapid test on day 7 and, if negative, end your required masking. If you had symptoms, you can end isolation if your symptoms are improving and you are fever-free for 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medication. Those who continue to have significant symptoms and/or still test positive via a rapid test are expected to continue isolation through day 10.
If you did not have symptoms when you tested positive, and you then develop symptoms within 10 days from when you were tested, then you reset to day 0 on the day that symptoms onset.

UNH Manchester and UNH Downtown Commons residence hall are official stops for the Green DASH, a free shuttle that runs on weekdays to ease congestion and parking around the Millyard and downtown Manchester. The Green DASH route begins at Veterans Park, with designated stops at UNH Downtown Commons, Rines Center, UNH Manchester and Market Basket. All other stops along the route operate on a flag system—the driver will only stop if there are passengers waiting to be picked up or if someone pulls the “stop” rope aboard the bus. The bus is wheelchair accessible and equipped with bicycle racks. The schedule and route map is below, online and available in hard-copy at the UNH Manchester security desk.

Visitors to UNH Manchester must be sponsored by a member of the UNH Manchester community.
To sponsor an on-campus visitor (such as a family member or friend, panelist, guest speaker, vendor, campus interviewer, etc.), please coordinate the visit by emailing covid_unhm@unh.edu with the following information:
Each visit will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. Sponsors should greet their visitors at the main entrance and provide an escort.
Visitors are expected to wear a mask and adhere to physical distancing measures of six (6) feet. When your visitor arrives on campus, they will be asked about any COVID-related illness or symptoms they have experienced.
We ask that your visitors do not come to campus if they have any of the symptoms listed on the CDC website.
This procedure is necessary to maintain visibility concerning who is on campus, and we appreciate your cooperation.
Again, to coordinate a campus visitor, please email covid_unhm@unh.edu.
Now more than ever, the health and safety of our UNH community depends on everyone acting with real Wildcat pride. Let's take care of each other.
