COVID Updates
Dr. Sandra Wyrick, Interim Dean Student Health & Wellness Center
Dr. Iser, Medical Director
There have been some small COVID-19 guideline updates from the CDC and CDPH. The LRCCD COVID-19 Decision Chart and forms have been updated to reflect these changes.
CDC and CDPH COVID-19 Guidelines Update
March 25, 2023
Changes:
- If you are symptomatic and/or you test positive, you will now isolate for 5 days instead of 10 days if symptoms are no longer present.
- After ending isolation (no fever without the use of fever-reducing medications and symptoms are improving), confirmed cases may remove their mask sooner than Day 10 if they have two sequential negative tests at least one day apart. If antigen test results are positive, the person may still be infectious and should continue wearing a mask and wait at least one day before taking another test.
- Submission of the COVID Reporting Form (Appendix C) within 2 days (48 hours) if you tested positive for COVID-19 and you were on campus within 14 days prior to your positive test collection date or when symptoms first started.
Important Things to Remember:
You should consider testing as soon as possible to determine infection status and follow all isolation recommendations above if testing positive. Knowing you are infected early enables:
- Earlier access to treatment options, if indicated (especially for those who may be at risk for severe illness)
- Notification of exposed persons (close contacts) who may also benefit by knowing if they are infected. If testing negative before Day 3, retest at least once preferably a day later, during the 3–5 day window following exposure.
Persons previously infected in the last 31–90 days should also test, even if asymptomatic and regardless of vaccination status, given the increased transmissibility and increased repeat infections with the circulating Omicron variant.
