The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and the Hamilton County Health Department are collaborating in contact tracing efforts to determine individuals who may been exposed to COVID-19 as a result of interaction with members of the Delta Zeta sorority beginning Aug. 8. Delta Zeta sorority leadership and members are assisting the University in its efforts to pursue student contacts who may have been exposed. The University is grateful for their cooperation and assistance.<\/p>\n

The UTC COVID-19 Campus Support Team is pursuing student contacts who may have had exposure. Those who have been in contact with members of the sorority since Aug. 8 are encouraged get tested and self-monitor for symptoms.\u00a0UTC students with potential exposure are asked to complete the COVID-19 Notification Form,\u00a0which<\/a> can be found here<\/strong><\/a> and\/or to call the campus office of Student Outreach and Support at 423-425-2299.<\/p>\n

For their own benefit and that of others who may have been exposed to COVID-19, members of the UTC community are urged to be responsive to communication efforts by the UTC COVID-19 Campus Support Team. Cooperation with these efforts is critical to mitigate the spread of the virus.<\/p>\n

The Hamilton County Health Department is engaged in efforts to identify and contact residents of Chattanooga and surrounding communities who may have been exposed. Members of the community with potential exposure are asked to call the Hamilton County Health Department at\u00a0423-209-8383. Anyone with exposure is encouraged to be tested.<\/p>\n

Information on locations and times for free\u00a0COVID-19 testing in the community can be found here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The University\u00a0is taking all necessary precautions to protect the UTC community as fall semester\u00a0classes\u00a0begin Monday. Months of planning\u00a0and preparations\u00a0at UTC have resulted in extensive health and safety protocols\u00a0and precautions\u00a0in place\u00a0for the\u00a0protection\u00a0of students, faculty and staff. In addition to contact tracing, UTC has resources and other information about what happens when a positive case of COVID-19 is reported on the University\u2019s website here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
