I have received a positive test result. Can I send an email to my colleagues?

While you are free to share your own test results, your manager or supervisor will be informed not to include your name in any communication.

The person who tested positive works remotely and has not been on Grounds. Do I need to send a co-worker notification?

No.  If the faculty or staff member has been working remotely and not been on Grounds, a co-worker notification is not necessary.

I would like to let people in the building that they may have come in contact with someone that has tested positive. How do I get a list of the people in this building?

Within Arts & Sciences, we will provide a list of email addresses by Wednesday, September 9 that can be used to send the co-worker notification to those assigned to specific buildings.  These distribution lists will enable you to send a broad notification and facilitate transparency.  Sending notifications are likely cause employee concerns about whether they were exposed to the positive co-worker. We recommend using your discretion and consider this guidance when sending the co-worker notification and using the building email distribution lists.

Will I be notified if a faculty or staff member receives a positive test result?

Yes.  Employee Health will send a secure email notifying the following parties of a positive case which includes identifying information (name of the employee):

  1. Employee (UVA email address)
  2. Supervisor (UVA email address)
  3. Human Resources
  4. Emergency Management

The notification from Employee Health will include instructions and a notification template to use for notifying the affected employee's coworkers of the positive case without disclosing the name of the employee.
