COVID-19 Research Continuity
As of September 23:
We are in Phase 5. While USC now supports fully in-person operations, the actual split between remote and in-person work will be determined and communicated by unit leadership based on restart guiding principles. Masks are still required in health care settings, if you have COVID-19, or for 10 days following exposure. (learn more)

Everyone must screen themselves daily prior to accessing campus and test as required.
Everyone is recommended to wear an N95 mask.
Anyone with symptoms or exposure should mask for 10 days and contact USC Pop Testing for testing.
