Reporting COVID-19
All employees must fill out the Health Survey daily. To report a diagnosis of or exposure to COVID-19, employees should contact April Forray at forraya@mtmary.edu.
All students must fill out the Health Survey before coming to campus each day. If you must report a diagnosis or have concerns, contact COVID-19 Response Coordinator Amy Dedow at dedowa@mtmary.edu.
Tracing & Notification
Any reported COVID-19 confirmation for someone who has been on campus will be reported to the Health Department for follow up. Tracking will be implemented for anyone with a confirmed case of coronavirus.
When a student or employee receives a positive diagnosis of COVID-19 infection, only the individuals that had significant contact will be notified of an exposure. When notified of a positive test result, Student Affairs and Human Resources work directly with the Health Department. Only those individuals who had significant contact with someone who had a positive test result will be contacted with further steps, which will include quarantine. If you are not contacted, it is because you were not found to have significant contact with the positive individual; therefore, you should continue your regular activities on campus (class or work) while continuing to practice the mandatory guidelines of social distancing, hand hygiene, cleaning of surfaces, and mask wearing, as well as monitoring yourself for any symptoms.
