    Covid-19 Information and Resources

    +Toggle d9e117 AccordionWhat do I do if I am exposed?

    These requirements apply to students and employees regardless of vaccination status, previous infections, or lack of symptoms.

    Individuals with a possible close contact exposure should:

    • Test 3-5 days after last close contact exposure
    • Wear a face covering around others for 10 days after exposure, especially in indoor settings
    • Watch for symptoms. If you develop any symptoms, test and stay home. 
    • If you test positive, isolate.

    If a person develops symptoms, they may not come to campus while waiting for test results.

    Visit the County of San Luis Obispo COVID-19 Testing page for current information on testing.

    +Toggle d9e117 AccordionWhat do I do if I test positive?

    How to Report a Positive Case

    Day 0 is your first day of symptoms or positive viral test. Day 1 is the first full day after your symptoms developed or your test specimen was collected. If you have COVID-19 or have symptoms, isolate and do not come to campus.

    These requirements apply to all students and employees regardless of vaccination status, previous infection, or lack of symptoms.

    HOW LONG DO I NEED TO ISOLATE?

    Anyone with a positive test for COVID-19 must isolate for 5-10 days and wear a well-fitted mask when around others for all 10 days. Use this isolation and quarantine calculator to find out when you can return.

    Isolation can end after 5 full days if you've had:

    • No fever for the last 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medicine (like Tylenol or Ibuprofen); AND
    • No symptoms are present, or symptoms are improving; AND
    • COVID-19 test taken on Day 5 (or later) of isolation is negative. An antigen test is preferred for the Day 5 follow-up test.

    If you are unable to test or choose not to test on Day 5 or later, isolation can end after 10 full days if you've had:

    • No fever for the last 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medicine; AND
    • No symptoms are present, or symptoms are improving.
    • If you have a fever, continue to isolate until your fever resolves. If you have symptoms other than fever, continue to isolate until symptoms are resolving or until after Day 10.

    ISOLATION AND QUARANTINE

     1. Do not leave home to go to work, school, or public areas. 

    While in quarantine, you must not leave your home, even if you feel well. Do not let delivery persons or visitors inside your home.

     2.  You may leave home to get essential medical care.

    • Call ahead before visiting your doctor.
    • Drive yourself alone, if possible. If you cannot drive yourself:
      • Keep as much distance as possible between you and the driver and others (e.g., sit in the back seat), and
      • Leave the windows down, and
      • Wear a mask or cloth face covering.

    3. Stay away from household members.

    If you live with other persons:

      • Try to limit your contact with them and wear a face covering if you do. Stay at least 6 feet away from others.
      • Use a separate bathroom if available.
      • Avoid sharing personal household items like dishes, towels, and bedding.
      • Cover your coughs and sneezes.
      • Wash your hands often.
      • Disinfect surfaces you touch frequently.

    4. Do not answer the door for deliveries, if possible.

    If someone delivers something at your home, ask them to leave the delivery at your door, if possible. Pick them up after the person has left. If you need to answer the door:

      • Keep as much distance between you and the other person as possible, and
      • Wear a mask or cloth face covering.

    5. Help is available.

      • There are a variety of local assistance services and programs to help with food assistance and delivery, health insurance coverage, disability insurance, and much more.
      • Unemployment may be available for people who cannot work because they, or a family member, need to isolate or quarantine. Visit the California EDD website for information.

    Campus Access COVID-19 Screening Questionnaire

    • Do you have a fever (over 100.4 F) without fever reducing medications or feeling feverish (chills, sweating)?
    • Do you have a new cough (for those with allergies/asthma, a change in cough from baseline)?
    • Are you experiencing difficulty breathing?
    • Do you have a sore throat?
    • Are you experiencing muscle aches or body aches?
    • Do you have vomiting or diarrhea?
    • Are you experiencing a new loss of taste or smell?
    • Do you have a new onset of severe headache, especially with fever?
    • Have you been diagnosed with COVID-19 or are you currently under orders to self-isolate or quarantine by a medical professional or a local public health official?

    If you answer yes to any of the above, do not return to campus.

    For more information, review the "what do I do if I test positive" section above.
