How contact investigation works at California State University, Stanislaus
After a positive test is reported on campus, a COVID-19 Specialist will:
- Review information submitted via the COVID-19 Reporting Form.
- Send a general campus community e-mail to notify close contacts of their potential exposure, and provide testing and isolation guidance.
- Connect individuals with resources to support care recommendations.
What is a Close Contact?
A "close contact" is:
- In indoor spaces 400,000 or fewer cubic feet per floor, a close contact is defined as sharing the same indoor airspace as a COVID-19 case for a cumulative total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period during the COVID-19 case's infectious period.
- In large indoor spaces greater than 400,000 cubic feet per floor, a close contact is defined as being within 6 feet of the COVID-19 case for a cumulative total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period during the COVID-19 case's infectious period.
Stanislaus State COVID-19 Specialists will assist on-campus individuals who have been infected with COVID-19 or are close contacts with questions when requested to provide guidance on isolation, quarantine, testing, masking, and care per public health guidance.
What Does A Close Contact Need To Do?
Those identified as close contacts should follow the guidance below, regardless of your vaccination status:
- Get tested immediately and 3-5 days after last exposure*
- Wear a face covering when around others for 10 days after exposure, even at home if other people are present.
- If you test positive, isolate and you must follow the Isolation & Return Protocol.
*If you had COVID-19 within the last 30 days:
- You don’t need to test after exposure unless symptoms start.
- If symptoms start, isolate and get tested.
