Cal Poly provides COVID-19 testing through its Campus Health and Wellbeing only to currently enrolled students. These numbers reflect only positive cases identified directly through Campus Health and Wellbeing. Students can also access testing off campus.
The university does not offer testing to employees. Employees who test positive for COVID-19 are reflected in countywide and community-specific statistics (for their community of residence), available at the San Luis Obispo County Public Health Department webpage.

Students who test positive for COVID-19 are placed in isolation in on-campus University Housing facilities and provided with direct dining, laundry and other support services. Per the CDC, an individual who has tested positive can leave isolation if it has been 10 days since their symptoms first appeared, they haven’t had a fever in at least 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medications, and their symptoms have improved.
QUARANTINE
| Total on-campus resident students currently in quarantine | 15 |
| New on-campus resident students in quarantine (last 24 hours) | 3 |
Students who have been exposed to someone with COVID-19 must self-quarantine for 14 days by county health order.
QUARANTINE IN PLACE

| New on-campus resident students in quarantine in place (last 24 hours) | 3 |
In the event of possible exposures in University Housing facilities, the university can, as a precaution, place floors or sections of buildings on “Quarantine in Place” for 14 days, in consultation with San Luis Obispo County Department of Public Health.
