Additional Health & Safety Updates:

We continue to monitor our campus and community positivity rates, and receive guidance from Dr. Kim Shriner '80 and Los Angeles County Public Health.
-
Oxy’s indoor masking guidelines remain in effect at least through this week (03/14-03/20), as we assess campus positivity rates post-Spring Break.
-
Please continue to wear a high-quality mask indoors (surgical mask, KN95, N95).
-
Any Oxy community members with vaccination exemptions are still required to test twice weekly.
-
As always, any Oxy community member can opt-in for weekly testing.
We will continue to keep the Oxy community apprised of the latest updates to our masking guidelines, in consideration of Los Angeles County recommendations and campus positivity rates identified by this week's testing.
