Featured FAQ
Should I do a health check before coming to campus? What should I do if I have COVID-19 symptoms?
Conduct a symptom self-check using the COVID-19 symptom self-check tool prior to coming to campus. When considering your symptoms, pay attention to anything you are experiencing that is outside of your baseline (what is normal for you). Anyone experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, that are different from their baseline, should stay home until 24 hours after the fever (if present) is gone without the aid of medication and all other symptoms have been relieved. The COVID-19 symptom self-check tool is available on the University of Oregon mobile app. Download the app from the iTunes store or Google Play.
If a student or employee develops COVID-19 symptoms or has been in close contact with a person known to have COVID-19, they should contact their health care provider to determine if and where they should be tested for COVID-19. Students can also contact University Health Services at 541-346-2770.
