Effective immediately, employees are no longer required to report their status to the HR Business Partners. Beginning Feb. 1, all faculty and staff who test positive for COVID-19 are now required to self-report their status to the university’s Contact Investigation and Contact Tracing Team (CICTT) via this website (https://covid19-test-result-upload.it.ohio-state.edu/).
Communications from the Contact Investigation and Contact Tracing Team (CICTT) are expected via email, and it is critical that employees are thorough in their responses to ensure timely releases to return to campus/office.
As a reminder, the updated guidance on https://safeandhealthy.osu.edu/ is intended to inform employees of general expectations. Employees are to remain off-campus/out of office until officially released by CICTT. If telework options are available, they are permitted to telework, otherwise they are to use their available leave.
