UVU moves from Pandemic to Endemic

Utah has moved from a pandemic phase of COVID-19 to an endemic phase, meaning the virus is now manageable with vaccines, medications, and treatments. While we continue to encourage vaccines as the best way to prevent serious illness, we no longer require COVID-19 vaccination to attend UVU.

As part of Utah’s transition to a Steady State response, some COVID-19 services have transitioned to traditional healthcare systems. Consequently, as a state-provided benefit, UVU’s vaccine and testing clinic are now closed.

Home test kits are still available at Student Health Services, Human Resources, and Campus Connection. These are distribution-only sites, and there will not be anyone available to answer COVID-related questions. You can find answers on the CDC website or by contacting your healthcare provider. Vaccinations are also available through the Utah County Health Department and traditional providers.

Self-reporting and the tracking of COVID-19 cases have also concluded at Utah Valley University, and it is no longer necessary for employees to complete the “Return to Work” form after contracting the virus. We do ask those who are ill to continue to follow health protocols and stay home until well.

The novel coronaviruses are clearly here to stay, and we will continue to work with our national, state, and local health partners to monitor for any changes that could potentially negatively impact our UVU community. We are confident that the lessons we have learned during the past two years, under variable conditions, will allow us to react quickly if necessary.
