INFORMATION

TESTING

ASYMPTOMATIC

Testing locations for ASYMPTOMATIC persons are available at the ARC, at the Vet Med Campus and at the Sacramento Campus (Moore Hall).
Due to a post-holiday surge in COVID19, the campus recommends all community members be tested every 3-4 days.

What to expect:

Fill out the Daily Symptom Survey and have your appointment barcode (through the Student Health E-Messaging portal) ready when you arrive.
Please do not eat, drink, smoke, or brush your teeth at least 30min prior to your appointment.
UC Davis is administering a salivary test. You will be given a kit and a small volume of water, and you will provide a small sample of saliva into a tube. There are assistants available at every step to guide you and answer questions. More details of the process and what to expect can be found here.
Results are found in the Lab Results tab on your Student Health E-Messaging portal. You can also sign up to receive notifications (that your results are ready) by updating your profile on the portal!

SYMPTOMATIC

Please contact the Student Health Center for up-to-date information on symptomatic testing: (530) 752-2349

REPORTING

Employees and students at the Davis campus must report a COVID-19 diagnosis for themselves or someone with whom they share a residence. Follow this brief guidance to report a positive case or concern by emailing reportcovid@ucdavis.edu.
As campus screening increases the number of students and other campus affiliates who are tested, expectations are that more existing and asymptomatic cases of COVID-19 will become visible. In preparation for this eventuality, the campus has set aside quarantine and isolation facilities. UC Davis also has worked with local housing complex owners to assist them in establishing quarantine and isolation spaces within their properties.
Effective March 9th, 2020, UC SHIP will eliminate member cost sharing to $0 for all medically necessary screening, testing, and treatment for COVID-19.

If you are concerned you may have symptoms, find a symptomatic testing site.

Here are actions we must all commit to while on campus:

URGENT CARE FOR POSITIVE PATIENTS

If you feel the need to visit to visit urgent care or emergency services, please see the Health Care Services page to find places to use SHIP insurance within Davis and find details about emergency services coverage under UC SHIP insurance.

The following is from the Summary of Benefits and Coverage (2019-2020) Anthem Blue Cross: University of California Student Health Insurance Plan(UC SHIP):

The full summary of benefits can be found in the Benefit Booklet (2019-2020).

Additional Resources

KEEP TEACHING: INSTRUCTIONAL RESILIENCE DURING CORONAVIRUS

To support UC Davis faculty during a time of COVID-19-related illness, quarantine, or campus closure, the Keep Teaching site provides concise, practical resources and strategies for moving part or all of a course online to help you keep teaching, such as issues with undergraduate computer and wi-fi access: https://keepteaching.ucdavis.edu/student-resources/need-wi-fi

FAMILY CARE RESOURCES FOR SCHOOL-AGE AND TEENS

Find resources for family care, including tutoring, homework help, COVID resources and information gathered by local school districts support programs for school-age student wi-fi access.

REQUESTING COVID-19 RELATED LEAVE

Leave may be necessary to take care of family matters or sick loved ones, or you may need leave if you become sick. Read more about UC Davis' COVID-19 Leave Policy here.

VISAS AND INTERNATIONAL SCHOLARS

Visas and entry status have unfortunately come under attack by the federal administration in response to COVID-19. IGG is not able to offer specific advice in this realm - please visit the SISS website to find more information about specific visas and how you may be affected. To discuss unique or individual circumstances, please contact your SISS advisor for an appointment.

Unfortunately, the employment of ASEs who are currently abroad (due to broadly COVID-19 related reasons) has also become a serious concern for the 2020-2021 academic year, as some universities within the Universities of California (including potentially UC Davis) have determined that they will not be employing international students who are not on US soil for the upcoming quarter due to tax complications. The ASE Union (UAW 2865) has filed an unfair labor practice charge in response, and it is unclear where each university currently stands or might proceed on this issue. For specific information about who is affected by this and if you intend to be abroad for the fall quarter, please review this.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE DURING COVID-19 SHELTER-IN-PLACE

University support and reporting services continue to be available with particular sensitivity to the difficulties of sheltering-in-place with domestic abusers, providing emotional support, safety planning and assistance with workplace, academic and housing accommodations.
