Health Services Update

New Respiratory Virus Guidelines

Santa Clara County public health authorities have revised the guidelines for anyone who has a respiratory virus – including COVID-19, flu or RSV – and for anyone who a positive test result without symptoms or has been exposed to someone with a respiratory virus. Students and employees should follow the guidelines, which are summarized at deanza.edu/covid/protocols.

  • Employees who test positive for COVID-19 are required to notify the district by completing the online employee self-reporting form.
  • Students who test positive for COVID-19 are encouraged, but not required, to submit the student self-reporting form. Your report will help us keep track of exposures and may reduce the risk of further spreading.

You can request free home-testing kits from the federal government — up to four free kits per household, even if you received free kits in previous years — by visiting special.usps.com/testkits. You can also find more information about COVID-19 testing, vaccines and treatment by visiting the Santa Clara County Public Health Department's COVID-19 website.
