On-Campus Health & Safety Information & Update

• Due to Long Beach City’s current status as experiencing low COVID-19 transmission rates, it is recommended that people wear a mask based on personal preference, informed by their own personal level of risk, however, individuals are strongly recommended to wear a mask for 10 days if they have been exposed.
• The District will continue to make N95 masks available to employees working on campus.
• The District will continue on-campus contact tracing and notification should students or employees report COVID-19 cases.
• Plexiglass barriers installed in public-facing areas on campus, such as at student services windows, will remain in place to provide additional protection for employees and students.
• Employees off campus or traveling on District business must comply with the health protocols appropriate for that setting.
• Attendance for outdoor and indoor events/activities no longer require proof of vaccination, testing, or mask wearing in alignment with public health orders.
• The District has discontinued the use of door monitors and the Cleared4 vaccine verification system.
• The District has discontinued the weekly testing for individuals with vaccine exemptions, in alignment with the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), our current low-risk status, and entry into the endemic phase of COVID-19.
