COVID-19 presents itself through a variety of symptoms typically associated with a cold or flu. Please review the following information.
Employee illness and/or absence must be reported to supervisors regardless of whether you attend campus or not.

If YES, do not attend campus. Email covid19reporting@uwindsor.ca to receive further instructions.
If NO, proceed to question #2.

Close contact is defined as:
- Having been less than two metres apart for at least a cumulative duration of 15 minutes in a 24-hour period with a COVID-19 positive or presumed positive individual, within 48-hours (2 days) before their symptoms began, or, if no symptoms, the date of their positive test; or:
- Living in the same home.
Please note: this definition does not apply to individuals who wear prescribed Personal Protective Equipment.
