On-Campus Exposure Procedures
Rev. August 19, 2020
Do not, under any circumstances, disclose any information about the employee, including the name
of the employee or any information that could identify the employee (
e.g.
, gender, age, physical
description), to any other individual, except as instructed in these procedures. As with all other
medical information, this must be kept confidential and shared only with the HR personnel identified
in this procedure. HR will coordinate all communication, including any communication within your
chain of command or department.
Supervisors should not do any investigation into potential contacts and should only obtain the
information identified above from the employee. The local health department officials will engage
in contact tracing, if necessary, and will notify potentially exposed individuals.
Ask the employee to identify any areas they recently used for prolonged periods of time. If the
employee has been in University areas in the preceding 7 days, close off those areas for at least 24
hours or, if that is not possible, as long as possible. Then clean and disinfect these areas as
thoroughly as soon as possible and consistent with the
CDC’s cleaning and disinfection
recommendations.
