UMKC will publicly notify the campus of positive COVID cases under the following circumstances:
If that condition is met and the confirmed case involves an individual who has been on campus and has had significant exposure to others, UMKC will post on this page:
No notification would include personally identifying details of the individual to protect their privacy, according to state and federal guidelines. This includes no listing of name, gender or other potentially identifying details (class standing, degree program, etc.).
Under state law, personal privacy is protected and local health departments have jurisdiction in all public health matters. UMKC relies on these health experts to determine protocols for how to handle positive tests of faculty, staff or students on campus. These protocols guide campus health authorities’ assessment of positive cases. In addition, protocols by local health agencies and the CDC guide the university’s practices to clean and disinfect any affected spaces and to provide additional health/medical information to affected individuals.
These privacy safeguards mean that UMKC may have very limited testing information about its community as a whole. There may be many positive tests that the university’s leadership, including faculty and staff, don’t know about, especially those that are off-campus.
We remind everyone to remain vigilant and practice good hygiene. That includes monitoring your health and staying home if you are sick.
