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 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.
