Employee COVID-19 Reporting Process for Online and In-Person Students

Employees should follow this process if a student discloses to that they have tested positive for COVID-19 or are experiencing COVIDlike symptoms. 

Employees will:

• Notify the student that a College official will follow up with them for more details.

  • Students that are exposed and not symptomatic are clear to be on campus with mask regulations. 
• Email COVIDReporting@collegeofthedesert.edu with the following information: 
  • Student Name
  • Course Number (if applicable)
  • Student ID
  • Student Phone Number
  • Student preferred Email

What happens next?

A member of the COVID Reporting Team will contact the student for more information, and will provide the student with the appropriate next steps. 

• Students will be contacted for a contact tracing interview and asked for information, including:
  • Date of last contact with a COVID-19 positive person
  • Date of the onset of symptoms (if there are any)
  • Where and when a COVID-19 test was taken
  • Students must provide a copy of their COVID-19 test
