COVID-19 Personnel Self-Reporting Process

What happens if are experiencing at least ONE symptom of COVID-19 or have tested positive for COVID-19?

1. If you are feeling sick before the start of your work day, inform your supervisor immediately and stay home until cleared by a COVID Reporting Team member.

2. Complete a COVID-19 online reporting form to notify the COVID Reporting Team of your absence so they can conduct a contact tracing interview.

What happens if I was exposed to someone who tested positive for COVID-19?

• Report for your shift.
• Wear a mask for 10 days after last day of exposure (required).
• Submit a COVID report.
• Inform your supervisor.
• Someone from the COVID Reporting Team will follow up. 
• Test 3-5 days after last day of exposure (required for COD employees).
• At-Home COVID Tests are available by emailing covidreporting@collegeofthedesert.edu   

What happens after a COVID-19 Reporting Form is filed?

1. A COVID Reporting Team Member will:

   • Contact you within one business day for more information and to follow-up on symptoms.

   • Request information to help the Team identify any potential exposures for contact tracing purposes.

   • Notify your supervisor that you will not be allowed on campus or have mask requirements until cleared by a COVID Reporting Team member.

   • Determine a date in which you may be allowed to return to campus/end mask requirement.

   • Call you the day of your tentative end date or the first business day after to conduct a follow-up evaluation. If cleared, you may be allowed to return the next day/stop mask requirements.

   • Email your supervisor to notify them of your COVID-19 report closing.
