Revisions to the Yosemite Community College (YCCD) COVID-19 testing requirement, as noted below, were approved by the YCCD Board of Trustees at their study session held on March 2, 2022.
The Board of Trustees agrees to take the recommendation of Chancellor Yong for the next phase of testing requirements that would include providing testing for individuals who are symptomatic, exposed or interested in reducing the time of isolation, to be effective March 3, 2022. The current masking requirement would continue through the end of the Spring semester 2022.
