Will I be notified if I receive 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.  Since COVID testing information is sensitive and personal, it's important that this information is transmitted securely. As such, we are using secure email encryption. The message will appear different from a traditional email. Be alert for these kinds of messages as they may look like spam.  For an example of the message, please consult the Responding to Suspected COVID-19 Cases for Faulty and Staff page for the most up to date information.
