Reporting and Tracking COVID-19
Last update: Oct. 22, 2020
COVID-19 requires all of us to be even more attentive to our health, regularly checking for symptoms associated with the virus.
Starting in fall quarter 2020, students living on campus or taking in-person classes must complete a daily COVID-19 symptom screening survey and get regular COVID-19 tests.
All employees who work on-site at a UCSC property (owner or leased) must complete a daily COVID-19 symptom check questionnaire prior to reporting for work. Effective immediately, these employees must enroll in the program. Learn more about the program.
Preventing the spread of COVID-19 is one of our highest priorities. UC Santa Cruz is responding to concerns from the campus community regarding COVID-19.
- Employees: If you have tested positive for COVID-19, or were exposed to someone who tested positive, please email your supervisor.
- Supervisors: Report confirmed COVID-19 cases or exposures to the COVID-19 Symptom Check Officer at check@ucsc.edu. Do not include additional health information.
- Students: If you’ve tested positive for COVID-19, please call Student Health Services at 831-459-2591 so that medical staff members are aware and coordinate care if needed.
Santa Cruz County announced its first confirmed case on March 7 and currently has 201 active known cases and 2,753 total known cases.
