COVID-19 Resources for Students

If a student has COVID-19:

Maintain six-feet distance whenever possible and avoid close contact with others. A close contact is defined as someone sharing the same indoor space for a cumulative total of 15 minutes over a 24-hour period.
Students should not participate in aerosol generating procedures or specimen collection unless properly supervised AND have proper equipment (N95, gown, gloves and eye protection).
Please wash hands or use alcohol based sanitizer after contact with any high touch surfaces (counters, work desks, door knobs elevator buttons, multi use computers etc.)
Follow, at all times, updated infection control and prevention practices as outlined by the CDC, CDPH, and Riverside County Department of Public Health. If no surgical masks are available for patient care or if you have any concerns about your safety, please call the emergency hotline at (951) 827-8275 or email Student Affairs or education dean immediately.
Wear a medical grade facemask when indicated by local transmission rates, even when not performing patient care in clinical settings or inside buildings.
Cloth face masks are not considered PPE.
Discard face mask when leaving hospital/clinical site or immediately when soiled or damaged.
