Bengal Pledge

Being a part of the Bengal community means taking essential steps to stay well and protect each other. Every student, faculty, and staff member has a responsibility to practice healthy behaviors and follow Idaho State University’s established safety guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Together, we can help protect our campuses, families, friends, and communities while focusing on Idaho State’s educational mission.

I PLEDGE TO

 

1. PROTECT MYSELF

  • Monitor for symptoms of COVID-19 and report to a medical professional if I experience: fever of 100.4 F (38 C) or higher, dry cough, difficulty breathing, chills, repeated shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, or loss of taste or smell
  • Wash my hands often with soap and water or use hand sanitizer
  • Avoid crowded activities or social gatherings where face coverings are not being worn and physical distancing is not possible

 

2. PROTECT OTHER BENGALS

  • Wear an appropriate face covering and follow guidance as directed by the University
  • Maintain appropriate physical distancing of six feet when on campus
  • Stay home if I feel ill or after potential exposure to someone who is ill or has tested positive for COVID-19
  • Look out for others and encourage their continued commitment to the Bengal Pledge

 

3. PROTECT OUR CAMPUS COMMUNITY

  • Keep my clothing, belongings, personal spaces, and shared common spaces clean
  • Report any symptoms or COVID-19 exposure and participate in testing and contact tracing, as applicable and required
  • Follow medical guidance and isolate for the required amount of time if I test positive for COVID-19 or have exposure to someone who has tested positive
  • Carefully observe instructional signs and follow University directions
