The health and safety of UC’s Bearcat community is a top priority. 

On our campuses and throughout Cincinnati, our medical experts and health and wellness professionals work collaboratively to help ensure a healthy environment in which our students, faculty and staff can teach, learn, work and flourish.  

Through the COVID-19 pandemic, we learned that by working together we can prioritize our health and safety and reduce the spread of communicable diseases.  

Let’s continue to work together and be mindful of viruses currently present in and around our community. 

Measles is a highly contagious virus that has been detected in the Tri-state area. All members of the Bearcats community are encouraged to learn about symptoms, protective measures, and what to do if exposed. 

Pertussis is highly contagious and cases have been confirmed in the UC and Cincinnati communitities.

UC's medical experts encourage you to get a flu vaccine, learn about symptoms and when to seek medical care.

COVID-19 is still spreading. Take precautions and get tested as needed.
