Anyone who tests positive for COVID-19 needs to self-isolate and report their case online via our self-reporting form. Once  you report your case, you will receive an automated email with isolation instructions. 

Please note the COVID-19 Hotline is no longer accepting phone calls, but you can email covidhotline@csuchico.edu if you have any additional questions.

If You Have Symptoms or Get Exposed

Anyone experiencing any coronavirus symptoms, even mild symptoms, should self-isolate and get tested for COVID-19. 

Anyone who has been exposed should get tested 3-5 days after the last exposure, monitor their symptoms, and wear a mask for 10 days from the last exposure.

Per the CDPH recommendations, those who live with a household member who tests positive for COVID-19 should:

  • Those who cannot separate from a positive case in the home should mask when in common areas and when around others for 10 days.
  • Asymptomatic household contacts of positive cases should mask in the home when not separated from the isolated case.
  • Test immediately to determine if you are already infected.
  • If you are unable to separate from the positive case in your home, you should test every 3–5 days  while the case is in isolation and 3–5 days after the case ends isolation (or 3-5 days after your last exposure to the case during case's isolation period).If you are able to separate from the case in your home you should test 3–5 days after your last exposure to the case.
  • You should wear a well-fitting mask around others for a total of 10 days, especially in indoor settings and when near those at higher risk for severe COVID-19 disease.
  • If you tested positive for COVID-19 in the previous 30 days, you do not need to get tested if you have no symptoms; if you develop symptoms, you should get tested using an antigen test.
  • If you develop symptoms you should isolate and test immediately. If you test positive, please follow the instructions above. If you test negative and your symptoms continue, you should retest at least once in 1–2 days.

Anyone who tests positive for COVID-19 should report their case online via our self-reporting form and they will receive an automated email with isolation instructions.
