The Corona Corps is a University of Oregon-led initiative focused on providing case investigation, contact tracing, and case management support for positive COVID-19 cases or close contacts within the UO community. Highly trained student members of the Corona Corps guide students through the COVID-19 isolation and quarantine process, and connect students to resources. Resources include but are not limited to food, housing, health care, financial assistance, mental health support, and academic accommodations.
Developed by the UO’s Center for Global Health and University Health Services, the Corona Corps engages student team members to support the UO and local community to help stop the spread of COVID-19. The Corona Corps also works with UO instructors to assist with the containment of COVID-19 in classes.
UO students who have tested positive or think they have been exposed to COVID-19 are encouraged to review the COVID-19 exposure scenarios and guidance webpage.
