What if you tested positive tomorrow?
What would you do to protect friends and loved ones if you tested positive tomorrow?

With just a few weeks to go until the end of the semester, our contact tracing team is working tirelessly to reach out to those who test positive for COVID-19 and those who may have been exposed, and they need help from every member of our community to do their work effectively.
