Report any positive COVID cases
For the health of our community, the campus has a reporting process by which we review confirmed cases of COVID-19 and responds to those concerned about a member of the campus community having COVID-19, whether on- or off-campus. A team of medical and administrative staff has been established to offer guidance to the affected individual and ascertain risk to the campus and appropriate steps, while continuing to balance the need for privacy.
Employees and students must report a COVID-19 diagnosis for themselves or someone with whom they share a residence.
Anyone identified within our campus community as being at risk of exposure from these individuals will be notified if they need to quarantine and/or self-monitor for symptoms.

If you have a condition that places you among the "high-risk population" for COVID-19 illness, you are encouraged to discuss this situation with your supervisor to identify strategies to reduce your risks.
