The below COVID Careful Dashboard is part of that information sharing, and the dashboard will be updated in terms of both data and design. It provides a snapshot of confirmed COVID cases among members of the campus community as reported to COVIDWatch@uc.edu. The reporting of aggregate data will allow the university to protect the privacy of student and employee information while enabling us to observe and understand any campus trends around spread.

University Health Services requires that all members of the campus community (as well as campus visitors) self report to COVIDWatch@uc.edu in the event of the following:

• Anyone who has been diagnosed with COVID-19, a positive test result for COVID-19 or is being tested due to symptoms suggestive of the infection.
• Anyone with close contact with an individual confirmed to have COVID-19 by laboratory testing or with a presumptive diagnosis of COVID-19, meaning not tested but diagnosed by a physician as likely to have the infection.
• Anyone living on campus in University Housing and having symptoms consistent with COVID-19, including flu-like symptoms with chills, muscle aches, diarrhea, cough, shortness of breath or fever. In addition, the sudden loss of the sense of smell or taste can be an early sign of COVID-19 and should be immediately reported.
• Anyone returning from international travel, regardless of country traveled from.
• Anyone returning from travel by cruise ship.
• Anyone entering Ohio after travel to states reporting positive testing rates of 15% or higher for COVID-19.
