How is CSU notified when students, faculty or staff are positive for COVID-19?
Estimated reading time:1 min
The CSU public health office is notified of students or employees who experience symptoms or test positive for COVID-19 through:
Shared information among state, county and university public health offices.
Doctors, pharmacies and other testing locations are required to report positive cases to county health departments. These departments share information across counties and states as needed
CSU shares software and information with Larimer County Department of Public Health.
Anyone who works at CSU or goes to classes on campus would be “flagged” for notification to CSU’s public health office
Data from free county-based testing sites is also shared with CSU
Covid Reporter data goes to the CSU public health office – any student, faculty or staff who is experiencing symptoms or knows or believes they have been exposed to COVID-19 should report it online
Any student, faculty or staff member who tests positive at a location off campus should report through the daily symptom checker to expedite contact tracing
