For students and employees who live, study, or work in Indiana, UE has assembled guidance on the steps you should take if you have COVID-19 symptoms, have been or may have been exposed, or test positive for COVID-19. Since guidance may differ in other regions, we urge students and employees to contact their local public health authority or healthcare provider to inquire about resources.

In March 2024, the CDC provide guidance that included COVID-19 as part of a range of common respiratory viral illnesses (including the flu and RSV). In their Respiratory Virus Guidance, the CDC shares practical recommendations and information to help people lower risk from a range of common respiratory viral illnesses, including COVID-19, flu, and RSV. More information and CDC resources can be found at:

• Respiratory Virus Guidance
• Preventing Respiratory Viruses
• Updated Guidance on What to Do When You Are Sick

The University of Evansville subscribes to a framework for public health decision-making that follows the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidance. As more updates become available, we will provide information and resources about COVID-19 and other respiratory virus information on the University’s Health Center website.

While UE is no longer conducting universal contact tracing, we remain committed to providing COVID-19-related support for the community. This approach is in line with the announcement from the CDC (February 28, 2022) that a universal contact tracing approach is not recommended and Executive Order (22-09) from Governor Holcomb that no longer requires local health departments to conduct universal contact tracing following positive COVID-19 test results.
