UIC Employees

UIC is closely following guidelines from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO), and other local and national health organizations. In an effort to slow the progress of the virus and spread out the timeline over which sick patients arrive at healthcare facilities, government officials across the globe have suggested that people should engage in social distancing.  Additionally, we have proactively increased our regularly scheduled facility cleaning and sanitization efforts and are instructing employees to stay home if sick.

At this point in time, we are not closing our offices, however, to help promote social distancing, UIC is encouraging employees to practice the following measures:

  • Telework, where possible
  • Avoid face to face conversations, or where required, maintain a distance of 6 feet or 2 meters apart (i.e. hallways, breakrooms, etc.)
  • Eliminate face to face meetings by utilizing technology to conduct all meetings virtually
  • Limit time spent in breakrooms, kitchens, and common areas
4 Steps if Exposed to COVID-19: 

With the health, safety, and welfare of all of our employees and their families in mind, UIC has developed detailed instructions for monitoring our employee’s health should they suspect they have been exposed or, in fact, have been exposed to COVID-19.

If an employee suspects that they have been exposed to COVID-19 (Coronavirus), they are instructed to follow the four steps below.

  1. Self-quarantine and self-monitor for 14 DAYS from the time of your initial suspected exposure.
  2. NOTIFY your Supervisor and the HSE Department at hse@bowheadsupport.com or incidents@uicalaska.com.
  3. If you get sick with a FEVER, COUGH, OR HAVE TROUBLE BREATHING, contact your local health department.
  4. Prior to returning to work, provide your supervisor with a FITNESS FOR DUTY / RETURN TO WORK note obtained through your Primary Care Provider.

Note: If you need to seek medical care for other reasons, such as dialysis, call ahead to your doctor and inform them of your suspected recent exposure.

I remain hopeful that by staying informed and following some basic steps, we can all reduce our risk and protect others.  Please be safe and know that with knowledge, determination, and perseverance, we all can get through this.

Thank you,

Delbert J. Rexford
President and CEO
