COVID-19 Community Updates

As we prepare for the new academic year, we share good news that cross campus dining (5C) will occur this semester.

To support our academic mission, we will start the year with some COVID-19 safety steps for faculty and staff.

Looking ahead to the fall semester, we want all members of our community to know how COVID-19 policies for our campus come together.

Los Angeles County Department of Public Health announced today that the indoor mask mandate will not return at this time, since COVID-19 case counts and hospitalizations have started to edge down.

Please be aware that COVID-19 cases are rising on campus this week. Since Monday, we’ve had 26 positive test results among staff and another five among faculty.

Los Angeles County Department of Public Health announced yesterday (7/14) that the county has reached the high transmission level for COVID-19 and indoor masking requirements are likely to return.

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.
