PLEASE NOTE: This dashboard contains only known, active cases of COVID-19 both on-campus and within the surrounding area of Chapman campuses for faculty, staff and students. We are aware that there are possible cases that go unreported, however, we ask the Chapman community to inform us and we publish all verified cases.

*For more up-to-date information on Orange County COVID-19 cases to better inform you of the community cases, visit the California Coronavirus Dashboard.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER A DIAGNOSIS

Chapman follows the CDC guidelines of quarantine until at least 10 days have passed since the onset of symptoms, and no fever for 24 hours without fever-reducing medication use and other symptoms have improved. Students living in Chapman housing are provided isolation or quarantine housing as needed. Employees/contracted staff and students living off-campus are asked to not return to campus until this criterion is met. Additionally, consistent with the protocols for infectious disease response, anyone identified within our campus community as being at risk of exposure from these individuals will be notified if they need to be isolated or tested. You can review the full protocol for positive cases here.

IF YOU HAVE SYMPTOMS

IF CASES INCREASE

As we slowly increase the access to Chapman campuses, we will take any action we deem advisable to protect the health and safety of our students, faculty, staff, and community even if not required under state guidance. We may alter limitations to campus access if the situation on or around the campuses were to change, such as:

    • Issuance of new federal, state, or local mandates that impact Chapman and the surrounding areas
    • Changes to our county’s status on  Gov. Newsom’s blueprint for opening California
    • Numbers of cases requiring action as prescribed in the COVID-19 Industry Guidance: Institutions of Higher Education
    • Significant increases in COVID-19 transmission on our campuses occur at a rate significantly different from that of our surrounding community
    • Significant increases in COVID-19 transmission within our surrounding community
    • Evidence that our university community is disregarding the CU Staying Healthy protocols
    • Significant changes in the availability of COVID-19 tests, essential PPE, or other required protective wear such as face coverings, due to logistics, supply chain or other factors
    • Changes in available healthcare capacity within our local healthcare facilities
