A follow-up negative COVID test is NOT required for return to campus. As per CalOSHA, mask-wearing is required indoors through day 10 from when your symptoms began or you tested positive.

As per CalOSHA, the District shall provide face coverings and ensure they are worn by employees when required by a California Department of Public Health regulation or order.

Recommendation for Close Contacts

The California Department of Public Health recommends the following for close contacts of COVID-19 positive cases:

• If you have new 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. For further details, see CDPH COVID-1​9 tes​​ting guidance​.​
