If you feel sick or have tested positive for COVID-19 within the last 24 hours, do not come to campus.
Employee COVID Reporting
Per Cal-OSHA guidelines, the District must continue to monitor employee COVID-positive cases. Employees will continue to report COVID-19 positives via the online Form below. If you have tested positive for COVID-19, stay home, do not come to campus, and fill out the form.
Return to Work Guidelines for Those Who Test Positive for COVID
Employees should stay home until you have not had a fever for 24 hours without using fever reducing medication AND other COVID-19 symptoms are mild and improving.
A follow-up negative COVID test is NOT required for return to campus. As per CalOSHA, a mask should be worn around others while indoors through day 10. Day 0 is symptom onset date or positive test date.
The District will provide face coverings free of charge as needed.
Recommendation for Close Contacts
The California Department of Public Health does not require that close contacts of positive cases stay home from work, but they recommend the following:
- If you have COVID-19 symptoms, you should test and mask right away.
- If you do not have symptoms, and are at higher risk of severe COVID-19 infection and would benefit from treatment, you should test within 5 days.
- If you do not have symptoms and have contact with people who are at higher risk for severe infection, you should mask indoors when around such people for 10 days. Consider testing within 5 days after the last exposure date (Day 0) and before contact with higher-risk people.
Students and Community Members
Students and other campus community members are no longer required to report positive cases and will adhere to the following guidance when on District property:
- May return to the campus if 24 hours have passed with no fever (without using fever-reducing medications) and their symptoms are mild and improving.
- Wear a mask indoors through day 10 from when your symptoms began or you tested positive.
COVID-19 Testing
COVID-19 tests are available at no cost to employees who were identified as being in close contact with a positive case on campus. These tests are available at the Student Health Centers.
