(March 24, 2020, 10:40 a.m.) -- In a March 24 email echoed on its website, CSULB Co-Director Student Health Serbices, Kimberly Fodran, M.D., writes:

Dear Beach Community:

We have learned of the first confirmed positive COVID-19 test results in our campus community. Two students are in self-isolation off campus, and those who may have come into close contact with them are being notified by health officials. In one case, the student has not been on campus for two weeks. In the second case, there was no opportunity for on-campus exposure according to public-health officials.

While it was to be expected that The Beach family eventually would be affected by this pandemic, we were saddened to hear this news. It is a sober signal that the impact of this illness will be felt widely. It is critically important that everyone adheres to all the social distancing measures and practice good public health hygiene, including washing hands as frequently as possible.

The email and website advisory also lists hygiene and suggested resposes for symptoms.
