You may need to isolate after a COVID-19 diagnosis
For Everyone
- You are strongly encouraged to report your positive COVID-19 diagnosis and test results to UC Davis. Employees will be contacted by Occupational Health with additional guidance regarding isolation.
- If you test positive for COVID-19:
- Stay home if you have COVID-19 symptoms, until you have not had a fever for 24 hours without using fever reducing medication AND other COVID-19 symptoms are mild and improving.
- Mask when you are around other people indoors for the 10 days after you become sick or test positive (if no symptoms).
- Review the California Department of Public Health’s COVID-19 Isolation Guidance (Jan. 9)
Please Notify UC Davis for more detailed instructions about your COVID-19 diagnosis.
For Students
- With limited remote options, students could miss class during any isolation period. If students experience academic challenges due to the impact of any illness, they should contact their academic advisor.
For Supervisors
- When an employee tests positive for COVID-19 and reports their diagnosis to UC Davis, they will be provided guidance for notifying their supervisor if they cannot come to campus, as well as return-to-work requirements.
- Supervisors should not send any further communication regarding the work restriction to anyone else, but may communicate needed adjustments to workload and schedule, if the work restriction affects business process needs.
