Employees, including student employees, are encouraged to report their COVID-19 cases to CTVNS either by following instructions online, emailing contacttracing@uci.edu, or calling 949-824-2300. Employees should follow instructions for isolation and clearance to return to work.
Consistent with Cal/OSHA COVID-19 Prevention Non-Emergency Regulations and related statutes, when an employee reports a COVID-19 case to campus, Contact Tracing and Vaccine Navigation Services will conduct a case investigation and notify employee close contacts.
Effective June 17, 2023, students are no longer required to report COVID-19 cases to the campus, and UCI will discontinue student case investigations, close-contact notifications and isolation housing support. Students who have COVID-19 will self-manage their symptoms similar to how they manage other illnesses and follow California Department of Public Health COVID-19 Isolation Guidance. Students who are also UCI employees should follow the instructions above for employee case reporting.
