Testing, Reporting & Contact Tracing

Vaccine Registry

Participation in the voluntary COVID-19 Vaccine Registry will help us better understand the breadth of vaccine rates in our community and better plan for the fall semester.

Saliva Testing

The university is offering voluntary saliva-based testing to protect our campus community. Saliva samples are being collected non-invasively.

Positive Test Reporting

It is essential for health and safety that any member of the UNL community who tests positive for COVID-19 promptly notifies the Public Health Advocacy Team.

Contact Tracing

The Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department and the UNL Public Health Advocacy Team are working together to conduct coordinated contact tracing for the UNL community.

COVID-19 Dashboard

Data reported on the COVID-19 Dashboard reflect results of testing UNL students, faculty, staff and affiliates. Results include on-campus and other testing. Data are updated daily.

About Our Testing

Nebraska is taking a multiple approach to testing for COVID-19, to ensure our university can most effectively continue its important activities in teaching, research and service.
