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.
