COVID-19 Response Team Update | February 12, 2021

Dear Campus Community,

Today we announce that the COVID-19 response team will be sending bi-weekly (every Friday after on-site COVID-19 testing) communication containing important information as it relates to COVID-19. We hope that these communications will provide important information while also keeping our campus community updated. Information regarding testing numbers, positive & negative test results, upcoming testing dates, Los Angeles & San Diego test rate percentages & hospitalizations, as well as any updates or reminders on both campuses.

This week on Wednesday, February 10^th, Woodbury tested 206 faculty, staff, and students at the Burbank campus, all were negative. However, Mend Urgent Care reports that 15 are still processing. This is usually due to a lack of collection of specimen. These individuals will be contacted to coordinate another COVID-19 test. On the San Diego campus, we tested 20 faculty, staff, and students yesterday and all were negative.
