New COVID-19 Guidance
According to updated guidance by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), individuals with COVID-19 now do not need to isolate for five (5) days before returning to work or school. People with COVID-19 and other respiratory illnesses may resume daily activities if they have been fever-free for at least 24 hours without the aid of medications and if their symptoms are improving.
CSU students, faculty, and staff will no longer be asked to submit a self-report form if they test positive for COVID-19.
