Notify close contacts

Please help prevent the spread of the virus by following these simple steps. Do this as soon as possible after your positive diagnosis. We need your help to notify the greater community.

A close contact is someone who came within six feet of you for more than 15 minutes during a 24-hour period. Because of seat spacing and strict mask-wearing, notifying your neighbors in a traditional classroom setting is optional. Students in labs, clinical settings and theater and music classes often must work more closely than six feet apart. In those cases, you should notify classmates.

1. Notify your professors so you can make arrangements for remote learning.
2. Notify your supervisor if you are a student employee.
3. Think about your close contacts for the 48 hours BEFORE your positive diagnosis.
4. Contact ALL of them and refer them to the exposure information below.
