Allied Health Students and Athletes:

• Please consult with your faculty, athletic trainers, and coaches for information on clearance before you return to campus.

All Other Students:

• If you tested positive for COVID, follow instructions by the contact tracer you’ve spoken to either here at Foothill College or the county. They will alert you to the first day you can be back on campus (which is dependent on a few factors they’ll help you with).
• If you did not test positive for COVID but got a red badge, schedule a telemedicine appointment if you feel you received a red badge in error.
• You do not need to get retested or have a doctor's note clearing you back to campus (Allied Health Students and Athletes, consult with your faculty, athletic trainers, and coaches for information on clearance before you return to campus).
• Answer honestly to the daily assessment. The goal is public health: ensuring that you’re safe and the people you’re around are safe.

Your COVID-19 test can stay positive for 3 months. The CDC does not recommend retesting for 90 days after a Covid infection. If you develop COVID-19 symptoms again, you should consult with a medical provider to see what action to take.
