COVID-19 Updates

California's COVID-19 State of Emergency is over, but COVID-19 has not gone away. To help support the health and wellness of everyone on campus and in the community, we need to continue taking steps to prevent the spread.

• COVID-19 vaccinations/boosters are highly recommended but not required for attending classes or working on campus.
• FREE COVID test kits can be ordered at COVIDtests.gov. We recommend ordering these kits now to have them ready if/when you need them.
• Illness Prevention information is available from the Health Services Office. Please check out the link below under "Resources".

Student guidelines for COVID, flu, & other respiratory virus illnesses

When you think you might have a cold, COVID, the flu, or any other respiratory virus which can cause symptoms such as fever, chills, fatigue, cough, runny nose, and/or headaches:

1. Stay home and away from others (including people you live with who are not sick).
2. Notify your instructor.
3. Get extra sleep and stay well hydrated.
4. You can return to campus when, for at least 24 hours, both of the following are true:
   1.  Your symptoms are getting better overall, and
   2. You have not had a fever (and are not using fever-reducing medication).
5. When you return to campus, wear a mask and maintain social distancing while indoors on campus for at least 5 days.
   1. Keep in mind that you may still be able to spread the virus that made you sick, even if you are feeling better.
   2. If you develop a fever or you start to feel worse after you have gone back to normal activities, stay home again.  Return to Step 1.
