If you have tested positive for COVID-19 or had direct physical or close contact with someone who has tested positive let us know per the instructions outlined below. If you are unsure whether you have had close contact, or are uncertain whether you should get tested, or would like to find testing locations or information, please visit the CDC Self-Checker.
Students - Report positive COVID-19 tests, self-isolation, or quarantine situations using the Student COVID-19 Report Online Form. The College closely monitors and follows CDC guidelines. Once you submit your report using the link above, a team member will review your submitted form. You will then be contacted by your Student Dean’s Office and provided additional information and resources that are available to students. Students report here: STUDENT COVID-19 REPORT ONLINE FORM.
Employees - To report positive COVID-19 tests, self-isolation, or quarantine situations, employees should send an email to employee.covid19@broward.edu and also inform their supervisor. This mailbox is monitored by Talent and Culture, who will respond and provide information about the resources available to employees.
Vendors - BC staff who manage vendors onsite must communicate with their vendor partners that you want to know if any of their employees, who work onsite at any of our locations, test positive for COVID-19. When BC staff learn about a vendor with a positive COVID-19 test, then that staff member shall notify either the individual your department has designated for tracking their vendors or to Risk Management for further instruction.
Protocol After Reporting
After reporting your positive COVID-19 test or exposure to BC, you may be asked to self-isolate or quarantine, based on your circumstances. The College follows CDC guidelines on when it is safe to be around others.
- Generally, close contacts will be asked to quarantine for a period of 14 days from the date of the potential exposure and not return to campus. If you are fully vaccinated then you will not be required to quarantine.
- If you are tested and found to be positive for COVID-19 then you will be asked to self-isolate for a period of 10 days from the day you began feeling ill or experienced symptoms. If you are not symptomatic, then the 10 days will begin on the date of your positive test.
- Employees should obtain clearance from the Talent and Culture department before reporting to their onsite work location. Students must obtain clearance from their Student Dean before reporting to any onsite location. These are general guidelines and you will receive more detailed instructions based on your case.
- If you are working or learning remotely and are unable to continue working or learning remotely due to caring for yourself or another person due to COVID-19, please notify your supervisor or instructor. Employees can find resources on the Talent and Culture COVID-19 Resource page. There are many resources available to assist you through this difficult time.
The Florida Department of Health is conducting broad test tracking and contact tracing. For the latest information on where positive cases are detected please refer to the Florida Department of Health’s COVID-19 website. On their site, you can find a dashboard informing the spread of the virus in the state, county, zip code, and by demographics. On this website, you can also find the latest information on local testing sites.
