I was exposed to a COVID-positive person

• NO SYMPTOMS: You may come to campus as long as you don't have symptoms. Start taking a COVID test on day 5 after exposure. Test daily for about 3-4 days if you still are testing negative. You can get free tests from Foothill. (It takes a few days for the viral load to be high enough for a test to turn positive).
• SYMPTOMS: If you have symptoms, stay home and take a test immediately. Note: It may take a few days of testing for a COVID test to show positive. This is frustrating yet normal. Do not come to campus until your symptoms have fully resolved if all tests are negative. 
  
  
• REPORT: You are required to report a positive COVID test by filling out the COVID reporting form ASAP. 

Testing Locations

1. Pick up free rapid antigen tests from the Welcome Center.

2. Santa Clara County Testing Sites

3. COVID at-home tests can be purchased at local grocery stores and pharmacies.
