    Common Questions and Scenarios

    • I received a positive COVID-19 test result, do I always need to report it?
    • DO NOT report positive COVID-19 test results received from Testing Locations for UC Davis Students and Employees. We have your results already and you will be contacted by a member of the UC Davis contact tracing team.

      DO REPORT positive COVID-19 test results from tests performed at any other site, including Healthy Davis Together. You will need to attach a copy of your test results and other supporting  documentation later in this form.
    • I failed the Daily Symptom Survey, what do I do?
    • Remain off campus and do not enter University facilities (with the exception of Student Health and Counseling Services/Occupational Health for treatment, or your on-campus residence) until receiving a medical release/clearance from your physician.

      Employees - You may return to campus AFTER providing your supervisor a return-to-work slip from your physician. 
    • What is a Close Contact?
    • Close Contact is defined by the CDC as someone who was within 6 feet of an infected person for a cumulative total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period starting from 2 days before illness onset(or, for asymptomatic patients, 2 days prior to test specimen collection) until the time the patient is isolated.
