Caltech's Response to COVID-19

Caltech's first priority is the health and safety of its students, faculty, staff, and community. The Institute has moved to online teaching for the Spring Term and has closed undergraduate student housing. In compliance with local and state "Safer at Home" orders and current recommendations from public health officials, we have limited activity on campus to only essential functions and are asking individuals on campus to wear face masks.

As of April 23, we are aware of one Caltech graduate student who is living alone in private housing off-campus who has an active confirmed case of COVID-19. A family member of a graduate student who is residing in Caltech-owned, off-campus housing and who was previously identified as having COVID-19 has finished isolation and has recovered.
