Public health paused contact tracing requirements in early 2022. If a department/unit has reasonable cause to believe that an employee contracted COVID-19 at the workplace due to an increased risk greater than the risk to the general public, please contact OHS, (ehs.occhealth@utoronto.ca). Examples of workplace settings where there is an increased risk include healthcare workers or first responders providing interventions to those with COVID-19.

For workplace settings where there is NO increased risk but where employees/supervisors/academic leads, etc. have concerns about potential workplace transmission or multiple cases in their area can contact Occupational Health (ehs.occhealth@utoronto.ca) for assistance. Occupational  Health will assess on a case-by-case basis and provide next steps.

 

Procedures for COVID-19 or Other Respiratory Illnesses

In the event an individual requires immediate medical assistance (i.e. EMS or 911)

If you are symptomatic/positive for COVID-19 or have another respiratory illness (e.g. flu) 

I am a household contact of someone who is symptomatic or who tested positive for COVID-19

I am a non-household contact/close contact of someone who is symptomatic or who tested positive for COVID-19

I have completed the isolation period. When can I return and do I need to be tested to return to campus?

If you require further assistance, please contact Occupational Health (ehs.occhealth@utoronto.ca).
