The following list provides the safety guidelines for all Life West faculty, staff, students, facilitators, presenters, participants and visitors. These guidelines are designed to reduce the risk of transmission of COVID-19. 

Unfortunately, the reality of our current situation may require us to cancel an event with minimal notice. Before leaving for a scheduled event, check the Life West website for cancellation information. If travelling outside your local community, use extreme caution and judgement. Do not travel if you are sick, and follow local guidelines regarding travel and social distancing protocols.

These guidelines will continue to be in place on campus, until the Alameda County Department of Public Health/State Health Order is lifted or we are otherwise notified.
