COVID-19 Community Updates

This message outlines modifications we are making, effective Monday, May 23, to our public health protocols for the summer. Please review the new guidelines carefully.

I have some initial numbers to share this week on the COVID-19 front: We had four positive test results among students yesterday and nine today. 

Today, we have had 18 positive test results among Pomona students. Last week we had 92 positives among students, beginning with high numbers on Monday and Tuesday and then declining to three new cases on Friday.

This week we continue to see a rise in positive COVID-19 test results among students.

In recent days, we have seen a significant spike in the number of students testing positive for COVID-19.

I’m writing because we’ve seen a significant increase in COVID-19-positive test results in recent days since students returned from spring break. Currently, we have 33 student cases.

Today, Los Angeles County has revised its public health order to strongly recommend, but no longer require, both vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals to wear masks indoors in many public settings.

The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health announced that it is lifting restrictions on the requirement for fully vaccinated people to wear masks when indoors. The College is thinking through how this change will impact our community.

The deadline for obtaining your booster and uploading the information is this Friday, February 11.

We are writing to update you on the status of our community effort to ensure that our students, faculty and staff are up-to-date on their COVID-19 vaccine and booster.
