Re: New COVID-19 Cases Reported to Caltech

Since our last update on October 31, 4 members of the Caltech community reported positive COVID-19 test results to Student Wellness Services (SWS):

  • 3 employees (none living on campus)
  • 1 student (living on campus)

There are currently 0 individuals isolating in spaces set aside in Caltech housing.

The safety and security of Caltech's students, staff, and faculty is a priority. As such, all members of the Caltech community are expected to:

  • Adhere to the Institute's vaccination policies.
  • Notify SWS immediately if you are ill, have had a positive test for COVID-19, or have been exposed to anyone with a positive test for COVID-19.
  • Stay home if you are ill, have a fever, or have otherwise been instructed to quarantine or isolate.
  • Regularly wash your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer with at least 60 percent alcohol.

We also encourage everyone reporting on-site to participate and enroll in Caltech's surveillance testing program.
