Applies to all employees who tested positive for COVID-19 within 14 days of working on campus. Does not apply to employees performing work from home.
1. What changes will I see?
Campus-wide emails communicating positive COVID-19 cases at specific locations on campus. The emails will include steps the campus is taking or has taken to address safety issues for employees, such as disinfection of work spaces.
On-campus employees who receive COVID-19 positive diagnosis will also receive comprehensive information on benefits available to them.
2. Will a campus notification be sent for every positive case?
No. The regulation only requires that the campus notice all employees and subcontractor employees who were in the same building as the COVID-19 positive case within the infectious period of the positive case.
3. What is the infectious period of a COVID-19 positive case?
The CDC defines the infectious period as “the period between 2 days prior to the onset of symptoms and 10 days after the onset of symptoms.”
4. Will the identity of a positive case be published to the campus?
No. Federal privacy laws prohibit unauthorized sharing of the medical information of any employee or student, including COVID-19 positive diagnosis. Other identifying information such as office number is also prohibited and will not be shared.
5. What should I do when I receive the campus notifications?
The campus e-mails are informational in nature, providing notice of an on-campus positive case within their infectious period and the campus location. Anyone directly impacted - such as someone who was in close contact with the positive case - as identified by the exposure investigation team, will be contacted directly. Departments whose spaces may need to be disinfected and cleaned will also be contacted directly.
6. Who is on the team that completes the exposure investigation?
Exposure investigation is done by the COVID Response Team which is comprised of the following areas: Environmental Health & Safety, Student Health Center, Human Resources and University Police.
7. What benefits are available to me if I receive an on-campus positive diagnosis for COVID-19?
Human Resources will provide comprehensive benefit information on a case-by-case basis to any affected employee.
8. Will my union representative be notified of my on-campus positive COVID-19 diagnosis?
Yes, this is a requirement of Assembly Bill 685. Medical information is only shared in compliance with federal privacy laws.
9. What should I do if I was in the same building as someone that tests positive for COVID-19?
Unless contacted directly by the exposure investigation team, there is nothing specific that you should do. The exposure investigation identifies individuals that had close contact with the positive case and contacts them directly with instructions.
10. Where can I find Benefits information on the campus website?
The HR COVID-19 page contains information on benefits available to faculty and staff. Contact information for Human Resources if there are any questions on the provided information, is provided on the page.
This interactive map shows testing locations in L.A. County and and Orange County.

The COVID-19 reporting hotline will be answered by a representative from Human Resources (HR) to collect the appropriate information from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Calls received after hours will be returned the following business day. All information will be kept confidential.
When you call, please provide your name, contact information, and the reason you are calling. With the information, a member of our COVID-19 response team will be in touch to conduct an investigation.

'Close contact' is defined as being within 6 feet of an individual for more than 15 minutes without wearing face covering.
COVID-19 symptoms include: cough, shortness of breath/difficulty breathing, fever, chills, muscle pain/body ache, sore throat and loss of taste or smell. The full list of symptoms is on the CDC website. If you experience one or more of these, contact your medical provider right away.
You may contact the department of Environmental Health & Safety at (310) 701-5796 or ehs@csudh.edu; or the Student Health Center at (310) 243-3629 (answered during regular office hours only) or healthcenter@csudh.edu.
No, anyone with symptoms or testing positive for COVID-19 must remain off campus until they are compliant with CDC guidelines for ending isolation.
Yes, CSUDH has an obligation to provide a safe working environment for its students, faculty and staff, which includes requiring those affected to not come onto campus.
If an employee refuses sick leave, the manager/supervisor should contact Human Resources as soon as possible.
An investigation will be conducted each time the campus is notified of a COVID positive employee or student. According to the CDC, a positive case's infectious period begins at symptom onset and continues for 10 days thereafter.
If a positive case has been on campus during their infectious period, a timely notice will be sent to the campus if investigation of the situation reveals that there was risk of exposure to others. Close contacts will be contacted individually to determine if self-monitoring or quarantine is needed. If the investigation reveals there was no risk of exposure, a notice will not be sent.
Per the CDC, isolation separates sick people with a contagious disease from people who are not sick. Quarantine separates and restricts the movement of people who were or may have been exposed to a contagious disease to see if they become sick.
Isolation should last 10 days after symptom onset and at least 24 hours with no fever without fever-reducing medication. Quarantine should last 14 days from the last contact with a positive case with the individual watching for symptoms of COVID-19.
