COVID Resources
On Jan. 27, 2023 the University discontinued posting new COVID-19 case numbers. All COVID-19 cases, as well as other confirmed infectious illness, should still be reported through the Medical/COVID-19 Referral Reporting Form.
The University will use the Wayne County COVID-19 Dashboard in addition to federal and state public health agencies to assess and direct infectious illness guidelines. Preventive measures against COVID-19 will continue to be a necessary aspect of our in-person community.
Please review the Health Advisory Webpage should you have questions on reporting infectious illness.
