Faculty / Staff Travel Recommendations
If you have traveled outside of the 10 Bay Area Counties in the last 14 days:
**does not apply if you regularly commute to work in Berkeley from places outside of the Bay Area.
ON-SITE EMPLOYEES (FACULTY/STAFF/STUDENT EMPLOYEES):
-
Essential workers are advised to consult with supervisors to see if they can work remotely for the 1-2 weeks following return to the Bay Area, and are strongly advised to seek COVID surveillance testing (and a negative result) before returning to campus.
-
Essential workers who cannot work remotely may return to work without quarantine after you attest to the daily Symptom Screener survey, however, we strongly advise a test on return then re-test (with negative results) at one week before returning to regular activity.
TESTING: We encourage you to take advantage of UHS's asymptomatic COVID-19 testing program. Getting a test is easy. Simply go to eTang.berkeley.edu, select "Schedule an appointment" in the "Appointments" tab and answer a few questions to get started. Asymptomatic testing sites are currently located at the Recreational Sports Facility and Memorial Stadium.
**IF AT ANY POINT YOU DEVELOP SYMPTOMS, YOU SHOULD STAY HOME, SELF-ISOLATE, CALL OCC HEALTH TO DISCUSS SYMPTOMATIC TESTING, AND CONTACT YOUR PRIMARY CARE PROVIDER FOR EVALUATION. **
