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 dates for exposure associated with this case are January 7 and 8, primarily in the area of the Facilities Corporation Yard. Individuals who are determined to have had direct contact with the COVID infected person have been contacted by the COVID Monitoring Team.
Due to the duration of time that has transpired since this person was on campus, no buildings or areas will be closed due to this exposure, but the areas in which the COVID infected individual was present have already been cleaned.
Our primary focus is the health and safety of our campus community, and our mission remains to empower every student for success. The situation regarding COVID-19 continues to evolve in our region, and we must remain collectively vigilant. In compliance with HIPAA privacy rules, SSU will not release any identifying information involving the private healthcare of one of our campus community members.
