What should I do if a faculty or staff member in my department tests positive for COVID-19?

Supervisors or instructors do not need to do anything other than cooperate with contact tracing.

Employees who report symptoms, a positive test or exposure via the COVID Reporter will be connected to CSU public health officials. See testing locations.

Supervisors should not pressure employees to report to work if the employee has been exposed, tests positive or has symptoms.

Supervisors should protect the confidentiality of their employee’s private medical information; they should not alert their staff or colleagues – public health officials will contact those who need to know. Supervisors may follow up with CSU’s public health office to provide information about concerns.
