Protocol on Infectious Disease Notification
From time to time, CUNY students or employees may contract an infectious disease that can be spread through casual contact. In such circumstances, which could impact the health and safety of the CUNY community, students and employees should follow this protocol. If a student or an employee is in doubt whether an infectious disease is covered, he/she should contact the Health Services Office.
Reporting an Infectious Disease (Students)
When students contract an infectious disease that can be spread through casual contact, they should immediately report it to the Health Services Director. If the Health Services Director is unavailable, they should report it to the Student Affairs Administrator. If the Student Affairs Office is closed, they should report it to the Public Safety Office.
Reporting an Infectious Disease (Employees)
When employees contract an infectious disease that can be spread through casual contact, they should immediately report it to the Director of Human Resources, who is responsible for reporting it to the Health Services Director. If the Human Resources Office is closed, they should report it to the Public Safety Office. Employees should also inform their supervisor or department chair.
Reporting an Infectious Disease (Children)
When a child in the Child Care Center contracts an infectious disease, the Child Care Center Director should report it to the Health Services Director and to the Student Affairs Administrator. If the Health Services Director is unavailable and the Student Affairs Office is closed, the Child Care Center Director should report it to the Public Safety Office.
The Public Safety Office should report cases involving students to the Student Affairs Administrator, cases involving employees to the Director of Human Resources, and cases involving a child in the Child Care Center to the Health Services Director and to the Student Affairs Administrator.
