UW–Madison has developed protocols for what to do when individuals working, living or learning on campus test positive for COVID-19. This includes contact tracing to notify others who may have been in close contact with a COVID-positive individual, providing necessary cleaning to workspaces and classrooms, and assisting Housing residents who must be isolated or quarantined.
UW–Madison provides no-cost, on-site COVID-19 testing for students, faculty, and staff. University Health Services will automatically receive all results for tests conducted by UW–Madison or reported to Public Health Madison & Dane County. There is no need to report these results.
However, all employees who receive a test from public health agencies or health care providers outside of Dane County are expected to report their positive test results to University Health Services.
To report your results:
- Send an email to covidresults@wisc.edu or
- Call (608) 890-0000 (you may be instructed to leave a message)
- A web form to report results will be made available soon
UHS will follow up on every confirmed positive COVID-19 test report. This follow up will include contact tracing to identify the on-site spaces people who test positive spent time and to identify anyone believed to have been in close contact with an infected individual.
University Health Services will reach out to these people directly. They will also notify Environment, Health and Safety if additional cleaning is necessary.
UHS will also reach out to ASU’s restricted e-mail address for reporting positive COVID tests, asuddrs@ohr.wisc.edu and ASU’s Divisional Disability Representatives (DDR) will contact the employee’s supervisor and the Dean/Director of that unit.
