Coronavirus Updates: Keep HDS Healthy

Current Guidance - Updated December 8, 2022

For all University members: Students and employees are no longer required to report a positive COVID-19 case to Harvard University Heal. Anyone who tests positive for COVID-19 will now manage their isolation independently by referring to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance. Medical and symptom questions should be directed to the individual’s primary care physician clinician as needed.

For students: Students who test positive for COVID-19 should reach out to their School to inquire about academic or residential accommodations. This will be similar to approaches that have been used in the past for illnesses in general.

For employees: Employees who test positive should notify their manager of their positive case and their anticipated return-to-work date. Employees and their managers should work together following standard HR policies.

Health care and childcare workers who test positive for COVID-19 are still expected to follow the return-to-work testing requirement until the CDC issues further guidance.
