Dear USD Campus Community:
We have been monitoring the decreasing rate of positive COVID-19 cases both in the County of San Diego and on the USD campus, and we are happy to report that we have not experienced a spike in COVID-19 cases on campus following spring break. In fact, on-campus COVID-19 cases continue to decline as can be seen on our dashboard.
Face Coverings
As a result, effective Monday, March 28, face coverings are only required to be worn during in-person classes and labs, in libraries, in the Student Health Center, on Torero Trams and when using other university vehicles. Face coverings in other settings are no longer required but are strongly recommended. Those who would like a KN95 face covering may go to Facilities Management front desk and one will be provided.
Random COVID-19 Testing
Random COVID-19 testing will cease immediately.
Exempt COVID-19 Testing
Testing for those members of the campus community with COVID-19 vaccine exemptions will continue to be tested on a weekly basis through May 11.
We will continue to monitor the situation across the country, in San Diego County and on campus. If the situation significantly changes, we may need to reinstitute certain protocols to maintain a safe environment on campus.
FAQ’s on this topic can be accessed here. Thank you for your continued efforts in making health and safety a priority.
The COVID-19 Action Team
