Campus Community,
We write to share with you that Sonoma State University was notified today of a positive case of COVID-19 on campus. The date of exposure associated with this case is March 22 between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. This individual, who is a member of our campus community, engaged in activities on campus but did not enter any buildings or facilities.
Individuals determined to have had direct contact with the COVID presumed positive person will be contacted by the COVID Monitoring Team based on university records and exposure investigations. Due to the limited area of exposure for this case, no buildings or areas will be closed.
