Currently no active coronavirus cases at CSUSM

There are no active cases of COVID-19 at CSUSM as of Feb. 20. There have been 111 cumulative cases over the course of the semester.

CSUSM may have more cases than they have reported, as the data does not include employees working remotely or those who live off campus and do not participate in any campus activities. Those individuals are not obligated to report a positive case. 

CSUSM data can be found at this site. The site is updated whenever there is a change in case numbers.
