- COVID-19 Resources and GuidelinesAs we transition between semesters, we wanted to provide reminders regarding the campus’s COVID-19 protocols to help you keep safe and healthy. COVID-19 Campus Protocols Isolation guidance for those testing positive: Stay home if you have COVID-19 symptoms until you have not had a fever for 24 hours without using fever-reducing medication AND other COVID-19 symptoms are mild and improving. If you do not have symptoms, you should follow the recommendations below to reduce exposure to others. Mask when you are around other people indoors for the 10 days after you become sick or test positive (if no symptoms). You may remove your mask sooner than 10 days if you have two sequential negative tests at least one day apart. Day 0 is symptom onset date or positive test date. Avoid contact with people at higher risk for severe COVID-19 for 10 days. CSUSM strongly encourages those who test positive for COVID-19 to submit a COVID-19 self-reporting form. Close contacts (exposed individuals) should follow the suggested protocols. The university provides notifications of close contacts and possible exposures to keep our campus community informed and to comply with applicable state regulations. Learn about how CSUSM is keeping our campus community safe. Keep up to date with our CSUSM on-campus worksite exposure dashboard. Cal/OSHA’s COVID-19 Prevention Non-Emergency Standards.
