Dear District Employees:

We learned earlier today that an employee who was working at the District Office yesterday, Wednesday, June 22, 2022, has tested positive for COVID-19. Because of privacy laws, we cannot identify this particular employee. Individuals the employee may have been in contact with have been notified.

For those Individuals concerned about the possibility of being exposed, we recommend you get tested and follow up with your health care provider. Testing is available at the District Office on Friday, June 24, from 9 am to 11 am in the atrium of the main building. Alameda County also provides free testing services: https://covid-19.acgov.org/testing.page#testing-calendar. NOTE: per the Chancellor's Announcement from June 16, the weekly on-campus testing service, as well as the daily screening service, will discontinue as of July 1, 2022.

The health and well-being of our community is our highest priority, and your active practice of masking, being vaccinated, taking daily COVID assessments when coming to campus, and other COVID-19 prevention measures work to mitigate its spread.

If you develop flu or other symptoms including dry cough and fever, please contact your medical provider and do not come to the office. As a response to protecting everyone’s health and safety, this message serves as a notification in accordance with state laws.
