Merritt College COVID-19 Notification – April 3, 2024

Good morning, Merritt Family, 

I am writing to inform you that this morning I learned that an individual tested positive for COVID-19. Per CDC and ACPHD guidelines, this person will remain off campus for at least five days from the date of the positive test result (which was yesterday, April 2) and may return once they are no longer symptomatic. The person reported that they were on campus Tuesday, April 2.

While privacy guidelines preclude me from providing additional descriptive information, please know that the PCCD Office of Human Resources has been apprised of the positive test result so that they can notify the Alameda County Public Health Department and Cal/OSHA. In compliance with our district guidelines, I will continue to report COVID-19 cases as part of our ongoing efforts to keep everyone safe and informed.

For the most up-to-date information and resources for students, faculty/staff, and the community, I encourage you to visit https://safe.peralta.edu/

In CommUnity,

Dr. Lilia Chavez

Vice President of Student Services
