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. 

As of February 3, 2025, the COVID tracking application on MyVCCCD is no longer in use. Neither employees nor students are required to upload any information about their COVID status or symptoms.

General Troubleshooting Tips:

• What do I do if my CA.gov electronic COVID-vaccination record and my CAIRS2 record are different? You can do either of the following:

  • Call CAIR directly at (800) 578-7889 and press “9” to reach the Help Desk

  • 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.
