Del Mar College Update (10:39 a.m.)

Del Mar College has received information that a student has tested positive for COVID-19. The student was immediately instructed to self-isolate. As a result of the positive case, an additional student who was in close contact has been asked to quarantine.

The area on the East Campus where the exposure occurred has been disinfected. Those who were identified as being exposed to the virus (per Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines) while on DMC property were personally notified by a DMC representative.

The health and safety of our students and employees remain our top priority at Del Mar College. All College facilities remain closed to the public. Only restricted access for approved employees and designated students is allowed at this time.
