Contact Tracing

Since CalOSHA ended the workplace contact tracing requirement February 3, 2025, the COVID tracking application on the MyVCCCD app is no longer in place.  Employees who have tested positive for COVID are now required to report that information to their area managers, who, in turn, will report the information to district Human Resources (HR).  The MC Student Health Center no longer tracks COVID.

Dual Enrollment and High Schools on Campus

These instructors and students will follow the protocols of the campus on which the class is taught.

General Troubleshooting Tips:

  • Email cairhelpdesk@cdph.ca.gov with the issue.

     

California workplaces are required to supply COVID testing kits free of charge through February, 2026.  At MC, these kits are available in the waiting area of the MC Student Health Center during regular business hours.  It's a good idea to take a few to have available for when you are exposed and/or develop symptoms.
