Del Mar College Update
(June 2 at 4:50 p.m.)
This morning, Del Mar College received information that a guest who was on campus for a meeting with college employees was notified of a confirmed exposure to COVID-19. As a result, the six college employees who were attending the meeting have been asked to self-isolate.
While there is currently no positive COVID-19 test result for the guest, the College is following internal health and safety protocols. The six employees who have been asked to self-isolate will be re-evaluated once test results related to the exposure are verified. One other employee associated with the meeting, but did not have direct contact with the guest, was asked to self-monitor for symptoms.
The area on campus in which the potential exposure occurred is being disinfected.
As of today, test results involving another DMC employee who was asked to self-isolate due to a potential exposure reported last Friday, May 29, are not complete.
