COVID-19

As of May 11, 2023, the federal COVID-19 Public Health Emergency declaration ended. Recognizing that University of Houston faculty, staff and students can find the relevant information they need on the CDC’s COVID-19 website, UH has ceased updates to this COVID-19 website.

For any COVID-19-related inquiries, we strongly recommend consulting with your trusted health care provider. Please remember to stay vigilant and prioritize your well-being.
