IMPortant covid-19 information:

  • Have you been notified by a close family member or friend that they have COVID-19?

       First, please be diligent in wearing your mask.

  • Do you have COVID symptoms and recent close contact with a positive COVID individual?

      Regardless of your vaccination status, if you have COVID symptoms (fever, new dry cough, loss of taste or smell, congestion, sore throat) please contact University Health Service at 598-1270. Please inform us if you have a known close contact (6 ft away for 15 mins or more) to someone who has recently tested positive for COVID19 so that we may appropriately triage your visit. You will have an appointment with a clinician and have a diagnostic test performed.

  • Are you a close contact to a positive COVID individual but do not have symptoms?

       If you have no symptoms but are concerned that you are a close contact of a positive COVID individual and have not yet been contacted by Public Health, please call Public Health at 598-1010 or 598-1480. A University contact tracer will talk with you and determine if you fit the criteria for COVID-19 testing. Public Health is working diligently to contact trace individuals from each positive test result received from the lab. This process takes some time, but they should be in touch with you within the same day. Please leave a message if you do not reach them.

**If you receive a call from 598-1010 or from 598-1480 please answer your phone as a University Public Health officer is trying to reach you. For convenience, you may want to add this number to your contacts.**

 

Many thanks and stay well,
Your University Health Service and Public Health staff
