Dear UTRGV Family:
As part of the university’s continued commitment to provide timely information to our campus community and the communities we serve, we will begin reporting confirmed cases of COVID-19 at our campus/off-campus facilities on our COVID-19 Updates and Resources website.
The confirmed cases webpage will be updated weekly and include other statistics from our surrounding counties. The latest figures can be found by clicking here.
Please be aware that the current spike of confirmed COVID-19 cases throughout the Rio Grande Valley will reveal more positive cases at UTRGV’s campus/off-campus facilities.
Consistent with UTRGV protocols, anyone identified within our university community as being at risk of exposure from these individuals has been notified by our COVID-19 Response Team and has been instructed to be isolated or tested. The COVID-19 Response Team is responsible for identifying and contacting others who may have been at risk. In addition, areas of exposure are thoroughly disinfected and cleaned as needed.
Please remember that we all play an important role in protecting each other and ourselves from COVID-19. Each day, before accessing any of UTRGV’s campus/off-campus facilities, review the screening questions regarding COVID-19-related symptoms and perform a self-screening.
If you answer yes to any of the questions, have been exposed to someone with COVID-19, or have recently been tested for COVID-19, do not access any UTRGV campus/off campus facilities. Instead please follow the instructions below:
If you are cleared to access a campus/off-campus facility, you are required to wear a face covering that covers the mouth and nose:
