Safety and COVID-19 Response
To see a complete list of testing free COVID-19 testing sites in the Tri-County area, visit the Tri-County Health Department website.
If you’re a CCA student or employee and displaying a pandemic contagion or other contagious/infectious disease symptoms, being tested for a pandemic contagion or other contagious/infectious disease or self-quarantining at the direction of a medical professional, or have been knowingly exposed to someone with a pandemic contagion or other contagious/infectious disease symptoms, please fill out CCA’s “COVID-19 Report” form.
CO Exposure Notifications is a free and voluntary service developed in partnership with Google and Apple that can notify users of possible exposure to COVID-19. By opting in, your Android or iPhone device will share anonymous tokens with other CO Exposure Notifications users using your phone’s Bluetooth. If another user you’ve been near tests positive for COVID-19 within a 14-day period, the service will notify you. If you test positive, you can easily and anonymously notify others to stop the spread of COVID-19. Visit the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment website to learn more about the app.
The CDC, Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, and Tri-County Health Department have recently updated timeline guidance for individuals testing positive for COVID-19 or who have been exposed to COVID-19. Please view the updated guidance below.
Individuals testing positive for COVID-19:
- Isolate for 5 days after onset of symptoms regardless of vaccination status
- Individuals can return to campus on day 6 IF they are asymptomatic
- Do not return to campus if symptoms are still present
Individuals who have been exposed to COVID-19:
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) updated their exposure guidance in August 2022. Below is the guidance that individuals should follow if they are exposed to someone who tested positive for COVID-19, regardless of their vaccination status or prior infection.
- Wear a mask for 10 full days after last known date of exposure (public indoor spaces and inside the household when around others).
- Individuals should monitor themselves for any COVID-19 symptoms (fever, cough, shortness of breath, etc.).
- Individuals developing COVID-19 symptoms should get tested immediately and isolate at home until results are provided.
- Individuals who do not develop symptoms should get tested on day 6 after their last known date of exposure. Even if an individual tests negative on day 6, they should continue following the guidance above through day 10.
General Reminders:
* If you are sick or develop any COVID-19 symptoms, individuals need to stay home. Do not come to campus. Get tested immediately.
* Complete a COVID-19 Report. By doing this, you will be contacted by the COVID-19 Response Team and you will be provided with a return to campus date.
* For any questions or concerns, please email COVIDquestions@ccaurora.edu.
Mask and Social Distancing Guidelines
- CCA highly recommends individuals to wear masks in all public, indoor locations on campus. CCA provides free masks at all building entrances.
At this time, CCA does not plan to implement any kind of social-distancing measures for employees, students, or college visitors.
Please refer to the Tri-County Health Department website to stay up to date on travel advisories.
