#  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](https://archive.cdc.gov/#/details?url=https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/your-health/isolation.html). 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.
