A standardized reporting process assures that appropriate information is requested
and gathered. All data gathered will be confidential per the requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPPA).
Any member of the WKU Community who tests positive for COVID-19 must contact the WKU COVID-19 Response Team within four hours of receiving the positive test result.
