What to do if test positive

Stay Home until you have been fever-free for 24 hours (without using fever-reducing medication) AND other COVID-19 symptoms are mild and improving.
Mask when you are indoors & around other people for 5 days after you return to normal activities, especially around people at high risk for severe disease.
Seek treatment early: If you are at high risk for severe COVID-19 (immunocompromised or other significant chronic health condition).* To do so, speak with a healthcare provider as soon as you test positive (students can call the advice line at (510) 643-7197. You may be eligible for antiviral medicines or other treatments for COVID-19. COVID-19 antiviral drugs work best if taken as soon as possible and within 5-7 days from when symptoms start.
