COVID-19 notification

In order to provide HSC team members with timely COVID-19 information, students, staff and faculty will receive a weekly update every Monday on active university-related cases.

Current cases:

  • 3 active cases with direct campus contact
  • 1 active case with indirect campus contact

A COVID-19 dashboard tracking active cases is updated every week. Due to privacy concerns, HSC can offer only limited case information.

When a positive case is reported, contact tracing is used to determine if/when the student or employee was last on campus and their interactions. Team members who have been in close contact with a positive case are notified and provided guidance.

Close contact is defined as being within six feet of someone with COVID-19 for over 15 minutes, starting 48 hours before symptoms start, regardless of whether face coverings are worn, according to the CDC.

Please report all positive or negative COVID-19 test results and potential exposures to HSCCOVID@unthsc.edu.

Team members are encouraged to review the HSC reopening plan and Frequently Asked Questions. These pages are continually updated with current information.
