Contact Tracing
GVSU will no longer conduct their own contact tracing. If you test positive for COVID-19 it is your responsibility to notify any close contacts (within 6 feet for 15 minutes or more over a 24 hour period). This is regardless of whether a mask is worn or whether the contact is fully vaccinated. If contact tracing needs to be done it will be done in partnership with Kent and/or Ottawa County Health Departments.
