QUARANTINE/ SELF ISOLATION
COVID-19
We understand that self isolation is difficult. No one likes to feel limited in what you are allowed to do. The following is a guideline of resources and information to make your quarantine easier.
WHAT IS SELF ISOLATION? "Self-isolation is done by people who have confirmed COVID-19 or are likely to have it. It means separating yourself from others, including staying at home, to avoid situations where you could infect other people. The goal of self-isolation is to lower the chance of spreading the virus." - Fraser Health
WHO HAS TO SELF ISOLATE? Anyone who has: New onset symptoms, however mild. For a full list of current up to date symptoms, please go to page 12. International travellers arriving to Canada. People diagnosed with COVID-19. Close contacts of confirmed COVID-19 cases (who have been instructed by Public Health)
10 Information collected from Fraser Health, "Self Isolation Information" webpage
SELF ISOLATION
COVID-19
WHY IS IT NECESSARY TO SELF ISOLATE FOR 14 DAYS? "The Government of Canada will use its authority under the Quarantine Act to ensure compliance with the order. Failure to comply with this Order is an offense under the Quarantine Act. Maximum penalties include a fine of up to $750,000 and/or imprisonment for six months. Further, a person who causes a risk of imminent death or serious bodily harm to another person while wilfully or recklessly contravening this Act or the regulations could be liable for a fine of up to $1,000,000 or to imprisonment of up to three years, or to both. Spot checks will be conducted by the Government of Canada to verify compliance." Information collected from, Public Health Agency of Canada, "New Order Makes Self-Isolation Mandatory for Individuals Entering Canada", webpage
In addition, 14 days is the time it can take for COVID-19 to go from initially infecting you to making you feel sick. This is called the incubation period. There is a chance that you can spread germs in the incubation period, and so people who do not have symptoms but are at higher risk of having been exposed to the illness are asked to self-isolate in addition to those who are showing symptoms. If you are concerned please complete BC's Online Self Assessment Tool to determine if you should self isolate after your quarantine period. To get tested, find your local collection centre by following these links. You can also call 8-1-1 to find the nearest centre. Collection centre finder (Mobile and desktop) Collection centre finder for Internet Explorer users If you have no symptoms, even if you are a contact of a confirmed case or a returning traveller, you do not require a test.

UFV SUPPORT DURING QUARANTINE
COVID-19
MONITORING In order to mitigate barriers students may face during the 14-day quarantine period, we will provide each student with regular check-ins throughout the quarantine period. Students are required to submit their travel plans and contact information to UFV before arrival. UFV International will create a regular monitoring schedule to check-in with students. The regular check-in will consist of a standard set of yes/no questions based on ThriveBC as well as addressing questions related but not limited to: meals, general well-being, online social engagement opportunities, sleep, mental health, etc. The Global Engagement Team has created a closed Facebook group for all students in quarantine to connect with each other and will also offer virtual online engagement activities. In addition, students are encouraged to join "Let's Quarantine Together". More information is found on page Join the UFV COVID-19 Support Group
EXAMPLE OF QUESTIONS FOR DAILY MONITORING CHECKLIST Do you have any symptoms of COVID-19? (Use ThriveBC website) If yes, call HealthLinkBC at 8-1-1
Are you sleeping normally? (Address jet lag) Are you eating?
If no, do you require medical care for any other reason? Have you left your hotel room? If yes, for what reason(s)?
Are you facing any racist comments or stigma? Are you feeling lonely?
If yes, did you wear a mask?
Do you notice any symptoms of culture shock? (provide examples)
If yes, did you practice physical distancing?
Do you have feelings associated with depression?

UFV SUPPORT DURING QUARANTINE
COVID-19
PROCESS OF CARE AND CONTINGENCY OF SUPPORT Should you self-assess and report symptoms of COVID-19 as outlined on the Thrive BC website, UFV staff will provide you with instructions to call HealthLinkBC at 8-1-1. Daily check-ins will increase to twice daily and staff will support you in following the recommendations of the health care professional. In the event that symptoms progress, staff will again direct you to contact HealthLinkBC at 8-1-1 for another health check and associated recommendations, if different than before. If you require testing and receive a positive test for COVID-19 but do not require hospitalization, the university will support you by ensuring appropriate resources are available to you. Staff will also increase daily check-ins and if necessary, assist you in meal selection and delivery as well as other living needs, as required.
FINAL HEALTH CHECK UFV staff will direct students to contact HealthLinkBC at 8-1-1 for a final health screen within 24 hours of the last day of quarantine. Students will be instructed to report the final check to the UFV staff member for reporting purposes.

MONITORING YOUR SYMPTOMS
COVID-19
WHAT SYMPTOMS YOU SHOULD LOOK FOR During your self isolation period, it is important to monitor yourself. The symptoms of COVID-19 are similar to other respiratory illnesses including the flu and common cold. It is important to monitor the symptoms of COVID-19 as they can appear up to 14 days after being exposed to the virus. For a complete and up to date list of COVID-19 symptoms please review the BC Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC) symptoms webpage.
Read the BCCDC COVID-19 Symptoms Webpage
We recommend that you track your health daily throughout your MANDATORY 14 day quarantine. You can do so by providing voluntary updates on your quarantine compliance and the development of any symptoms during the 14 days after arriving in Canada by using the ArriveCAN app. Please review page 3 for more details.

HEALTH INSURANCE
COVID-19
Find help with acquiring provincial health care coverage, or identifying providers that will offer comprehensive health insurance that will cover outpatient and inpatient treatments and include consultations, medical tests and hospital stays during COVID-19 As an international student, you are required to have medical insurance for the entire duration of your studies at UFV. Now, more than ever, we want students to know that they will have access to the appropriate health care coverage upon arrival in BC, Canada. Here is a breakdown of the various medical insurance plans that may be applicable to you as a new UFV student.
guard.me International Insurance guard.me International Insurance is a private health care plan that is provided as a temporary plan to new international students during the 3-month wait period until they are eligible for provincial health care coverage. This plan covers all new and emergent conditions and medically necessary treatments, including those related to COVID-19. International Insurance does not cover any services related to pre-existing conditions.
BC Medical Services Plan If you are staying in the province of British Columbia (BC) for more than six months, you are required to enroll in the provincial health care plan called the Medical Services Plan (MSP). The waiting period to receive MSP coverage is approximately three months. MSP provides coverage for medically required services including services related to COVID-19. In addition, MSP also pays for diagnostic services including x-rays. Other services that may be covered by MSP include supplementary benefits provided by other health care practitioners. Complete list of MSP Benefits Up to date information about MSP and COVID-19
Student Union Society (SUS) Health and Dental Plan As a full-time student (9 credits or more) in the fall, you will be automatically enrolled in the SUS Health and Dental Plan provided by StudentCare from September 1, 2020 to August 31, 2021. This plan provides extended health and dental coverage to fill the gaps in the provincial health care plan (MSP).
15
HEALTH INSURANCE
COVID-19
DETERMINING YOUR MEDICAL INSURANCE NEEDS Depending on your situation, your medical insurance needs will vary. Are you a new UFV student as of Winter 2021 but have been in BC, Canada for more than 3 months? If this is the case, you are likely eligible for the provincial health care plan (MSP) and should have already applied shortly after your arrival to BC. If this is not the case, please apply immediately by clicking here. Are you a new UFV student as of Winter 2021 and will begin your online studies from your home country?
If this is the case, you do not require any Canadian medical insurance at this time. Once you do eventually arrive in BC, please contact international@ufv.ca to enquire about private medical insurance (guard.me International Insurance) until you are eligible for provincial health care coverage (MSP). Are you a new UFV student as of Winter 2021 and plan to arrive in BC, Canada prior to the start of classes?
If this is the case, you will be advised to apply for the provincial health care coverage (MSP) upon arrival in BC. If you are not eligible for MSP coverage immediately and are required to wait three months until your coverage becomes active, UFV International will enroll you on a private medical insurance plan (guard.me International Insurance). This process will be dependent on you completing the International Online Check-In process upon arrival in BC and providing accurate information regarding your arrival date.
ACCESSING HEALTH CARE IN BC Walk-In Clinics If you are having non-emergency health issues, please call a local walk-in clinic to enquire about accessing their services. Due to COVID-19, many walk-in clinics are limiting the number of patients that can enter their facilities and instead are providing virtual appointments. Whether you meet in person or virtually, the doctor will ask questions about your health concerns and provide the appropriate advice. Find a walk-in clinic near you
Hospitals If you are having a medical emergency, you should go directly to the emergency room (ER) at your local hospital or call 9-1-1. A walk-in doctor may also refer you to the hospital for various medical services, 11 such as diagnostic services or surgical services. Each community has their own hospital. Learn more about hospitals in the Fraser Health region If you are unsure whether you need to visit a doctor or the hospital, you can call 8-1-1 to talk to a nurse.
16
HEALTH INSURANCE
COVID-19
ACCESSING HEALTH CARE IN BC Pharmacies To purchase medication or personal hygiene items, you can visit a local pharmacy. Some medications may require a prescription, which is a special note of permission that doctors give you so that you can get certain types of medicine. If you need medication that requires a prescription, please meet with a walk-in clinic doctor to request a prescription.
COVID-19 Resources If you have questions about COVID-19, how to protect yourself, and what to do if you suspect you have the virus, please review the BC Centre for Disease Control webpage on COVID-19.
