UIC COVID-19 Campus Guidelines
Effective May 12th, 2023, the Campus implemented the following changes for campus members not affiliated with UI Health and who do not have clinical duties, such as patient- or study-participant-facing duties:
- Campus employees testing positive for COVID-19, who were exposed to someone with COVID-19, or who have symptoms of COVID-19 will NOT be required to report to contact tracing. Staff should follow departmental call-in procedures.
- The UIC COVID-19 Contact Tracing and Epidemiology Program (CCTEP) will remain available as a resource for employees who have questions related to campus guidance or require assistance navigating isolation or the post-exposure period.
- All campus employees are required to receive clearance from University Health Service (UHS) when their COVID absence exceeds three days. To receive clearance, employees have two options:
- Call (312) 996-7420 to schedule a virtual office visit with a nurse practitioner, or
- Go to the UHS clinic at 835 S. Wolcott St., Suite 144.
- Virtual and in-person appointments are offered between the hours of 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. The last patient will be registered at 3:45 p.m. The office is closed on holidays.
