Self-reporting form for COVID-19

UT students: Please refer to the instructions below to report a positive COVID-19 test performed at any facility that is not University Health Services or UT Health Austin. Your self-report will initiate contact tracing, which helps slow the spread of COVID-19 by identifying close contacts of individuals who test positive and recommending they self-quarantine and get tested. Privacy and confidentiality will be maintained.

Faculty and staff who have symptoms or are being tested for COVID-19 should report their symptoms and/or test result to the Occupational Health Program.

Submitting Student Self-Declaration of Release from COVID-19 Isolation

Only complete this form if you meet all CDC criteria for discontinuing self-isolation:

• 5+ days since symptom onset (if no symptoms, 5+ days since test date) AND if you must be around others, then a negative rapid antigen test for COVID-19 (available through Proactive Community Testing and rapid antigen home kits, which can be purchased from local pharmacies) on the evening of day 5 or morning of day 6 can reassure you and others that you are no longer infectious.
• Test only if you are fever-free for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication and your other symptoms have improved (loss of taste and smell may persist for months after recovery and need not delay the end of isolation).
• If you choose not to test, you must be 24+ hours fever-free without use of fever-reducing medications AND
• Other COVID-19 symptoms have improved
