If You Think You Have COVID-19

For Employees

Visit the Occupational Health Services website for detailed instructions about reporting COVID symptoms and COVID-positive test results. For additional COVID-19 information for employees, visit the COVID-19 Information page on the OHS website.

For Patients

Here are three options for Michigan Medicine patients who want to be evaluated for COVID-19. COVID-19 testing at our hospitals and health centers requires a referral, which you can get through the below options.

To find a COVID-19 testing site near you within the state of Michigan that doesn't require a referral, visit the Coronavirus Testing page on the Michigan.gov website.

The hotline is available from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., 7 days a week, for Michigan Medicine patients.

Call 1-734-763-6336

Connect to Virtual Care

Contact Primary Care

Established U-M primary care patients can contact their clinic for evaluation of COVID-19.

Contact Your Provider

Please note: Stay at home and away from others if you are sick. In many cases, COVID-19 can be managed without emergency care. If you are not a Michigan Medicine patient and are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, contact your primary care provider. If you do not have a primary care provider, contact the State of Michigan Coronavirus Hotline at 888-535-6136.

If you test positive for COVID-19 at a non-U-M testing provider, please notify your Michigan Medicine provider through the MyUofMHealth patient portal or by calling your clinic.

About the New Medications to Treat COVID-19

The FDA has granted emergency use authorization to two drugs for the prevention or treatment of COVID-19: Paxlovid and EvuSheld.

Paxlovid: The State of Michigan expects to receive a limited supply of Paxlovid in January. Michigan Medicine does not anticipate receiving any supply initially, but we expect more in the coming months.

EvuSheld: Supply of EvuSheld is also extremely limited at this time. Michigan Medicine is prioritizing the use of EvuSheld for patients who are most severely immunocompromised and least likely to respond to the vaccine. Subspecialty clinics will be contacting patients as they are eligible.

For more information about Paxlovid and EvuSheld, visit our COVID-19 Treatments page.

NOTE: Drugs that may prevent or treat COVID-19 are not substitutions for vaccinations and booster shots. The vaccine and booster shots are the most effective means to manage and minimize COVID-19 transmission and disease severity. Everyone who is eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine and booster is highly encouraged to receive the shots. Learn more about COVID-19 vaccination.
