When it comes to COVID-19, we all want to protect ourselves, our families, our colleagues and the community. Doing so includes following COVID-19 protocols and taking the necessary steps if you test positive or come in close contact with someone who has a confirmed case.

While we hope you’ll never need them, please familiarize yourself with UCOP’s Exposure Management process and requirements.

When do I need to report?

You must notify the UCOP Incident Report Team if:

• You test positive for COVID-19 or
• You come in close contact with someone who has a confirmed case of COVID-19 AND you’ve been at a UCOP location within the last five days (or within the last 48 hours for contractors, vendors and visitors)

How do I report?

• Oakland, Riverside and Sacramento employees: Report to UCOP-Incident-Report@UCOP.edu or (510) 987-9991
• Washington, D.C. employees: Report to UCDC-COVID-19-Response@ucdc.edu or (202) 415-9275
• Contractors, vendors and visitors:

What should I do after testing positive or coming into close contact with someone who has?

Tested positive

• Stay or return home immediately.
• Self-monitor for symptoms and contact your primary care provider if your symptoms warrant it.
• Once contacted, follow guidance from the Incident Report Team.

Close contact

• If you have symptoms, stay or return home immediately.
• If you are asymptomatic and test negative, you can come to the office.
• You should self-monitor for symptoms and contact your primary care provider if your symptoms warrant it.
• If you have symptoms of COVID-19, you may return to on-site work when symptoms are resolved for 72 hours without the use of fever-reducing medications and five days have elapsed since the onset of symptoms.

For more detailed guidance, check out UCOP Exposure Management webpage.

What happens after I report?

When a report is received, a UCOP exposure management lead (EML) initiates the exposure management process, including gathering information, determining the next steps and taking any needed actions. Read more about UCOP’s exposure management process.
