ALL ACADEMICS, STAFF, AND STUDENTS AT UC SAN DIEGO (Including UC San Diego Health)

Required Notification of Potential Exposure Building Locations

UC San Diego has developed a multifaceted, proactive strategy to detect SARS CoV-2 (which causes COVID-19) in our community so that we can reduce transmission of virus on the campus to the greatest extent possible. One of these strategies is testing of students, faculty, and staff that are on campus. When UC San Diego receives notice that an individual infected with COVID‐19 was present in a UC San Diego building or worksite, the specific locations will be shared at the following dashboard, effective 01/01/2021: https://returntolearn.ucsd.edu/dashboard/exposure.html. We are required to notify you about these potential exposures.

Please review the dashboard and if you were present at the same location during the periods indicated, read the information on how to get tested, the campus disinfection and safety plan, and the COVID-19 related benefits available to you here.

UC San Diego Health Employees: Potential Exposure Notification information and resources are available on Pulse at: UC San Diego Health AB685 Employee Potential Exposure Notification

Please note that being present at the same location as a COVID-19 positive individual does not necessarily mean you were exposed to the virus as currently defined by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). UC San Diego medical staff review cases of positive individuals and perform contact tracing, which includes calling close contacts of the positive individual. All close contacts are notified as soon as possible.

For updates and the latest information for the UC San Diego community about COVID-19, please visit the COVID-19 webpage at: https://returntolearn.ucsd.edu. You may also view information on campus COVID-19 cases and trends on the Daily COVID-19 Dashboard: https://returntolearn.ucsd.edu/dashboard/index.html.

Please visit the Daily COVID-19 Dashboard for up-to-date information on positive waste water signals at UC San Diego. This information is made available to support students and employees in making timely decisions about testing.

This notification is being provided pursuant to AB 685 - California Labor Code § 6409.6, and Title 8 California Code of Regulations § 3205(c)(3)(B)(3).
