The University updated their expectations to require masks (Indoors) on campuses located in counties designated by the CDC to be in high transmission.

As of right now, participants must notify CWRC if they test positive for Covid-19 after attending an in-person CWRC trainingPlease complete this form, CWRC Covid Reporting, as soon as possible, including after hours for EMERGENCY notification, because for example, day 2 of a training will be occurring the next day.

Participants who test positive for Covid-19 should not attend a subsequent in-person training until they are medically cleared to do so. Upon notification, CWRC will contact all the participants from the affected training to inform them of their potential close contact with someone who tested positive for Covid-19. No confidential information will be shared. Participants will be directed to follow their employer’s guidelines for potential close contact with someone who tested positive for Covid-19.

CWRC will continue to share important Covid-19 training guidance on our website at University of Pittsburgh: Pennsylvania Child Welfare Resource Center - Updates on COVID-19.
