Santa Clara County and five other Bay Area counties issued a 'Shelter in Place' order today directing residents to shelter at home from Tuesday, March 17 until Tuesday, April 7 when it could be amended.

This order limits activity, travel, and business functions to only those most essential for the health and safety of individuals and their families. It does permit educational institutions to continue functioning to facilitate distance learning and perform essential functions. All athletic facilities are CLOSED for any activity. The school has put measures in place to keep on-campus housing and dining services open for students who are unable to return home.
