Covid-19

Important:  COVID-19 is now considered a general respiratory illness by the Centers of Disease Control (CDC) and San Diego Public Health (SDPH). If you have symptoms or have tested positive, you are not required to stay off campus but it is highly recommended. It is also recommended that you wear a mask for any respiratory symptoms. While the daily checklist is not mandatory, it does list symptoms that may be helpful in identifying a respiratory illness. 

 


Testing

Rapid Antigen tests are available in the Health & Wellness Office - Building 60, Room130
