Lehigh University LVHN COVID-19 Student Health Guide

1. If you are experiencing severe symptoms, go to the nearest emergency room.
2. If symptoms are not severe, call the LVHN Nurse Information Line first and they will direct your care.
3. When you call the LVHN nurse information line, access a video visit, or go to an LVHN location, indicate that you are a Lehigh University student.
4. Participate in contact tracing calls if you test positive or are a potential contact. It is very important to make yourself available for these phone calls in order to stop the spread of COVID-19

• You feel you may have been exposed to COVID-19, either on campus or elsewhere, but have no symptoms
• You are experiencing symptoms and think you might have COVID-19
• You need help registering for MyLVHN to access a video visit
• You need help using MyLVHN to access your test results
• You have questions about your treatment plan while recovering from COVID-19

If you are experiencing severe symptoms associated with COVID-19 such as shortness of breath, pain or pressure in the chest, confusion, inability to wake up or stay awake, or bluish lips or face, go to the nearest hospital emergency department. If, as with most patients, symptoms are mild, follow these steps:

1. Immediately self-isolate at home to reduce the risk of exposing others.
2. Call the MyLVHN Nurse Information line at 1-888-402-LVHN. Available 24/7.
3. Follow the instructions provided by the nurse, which may include

• Complete an E-Visit (detailed questionnaire visit submitted to a provider) by visiting MyLVHN.org or your MyLVHN app. Available for scheduling 24/7.
• Complete an LVHN COVID-19 Video Screening by downloading the MyLVHN app. Available on-demand from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. For complete instructions visit: https://www.lvhn.org/treatments/covid-19-video-screenings
• Go to an assess and test center for testing and/or treatment.

LVHN participates in most insurance plans but if your insurance does not cover services at LVHN, this will be discussed at the time of service.

You can always choose to contact your PCP or other care provider first. Calling the LVHN Nurse Information Line and accessing a video visit allows for assessment without exposure to yourself or others, and is often the fastest way to obtain COVID-19 testing if needed.
