Update on April 10: In a press briefing via Zoom Friday, USC Chief Health Officer Sarah Van Orman said she anticipated the resuable face coverings that the university procured will arrive early next week. Before they arrive, USC Housing will continue to distribute one disposable face mask to each student resident per day.Van Orman said USC has placed a second order of these face coverings for students who live near campus and do not have access to face coverings.



She clarified that the university wants all people in public settings, including those who walk through campus or jog in the campus also wear a face covering.



People should remove their face covering from their ears, store it and immediately wash their face and hands, Van Orman said.



"We recommend people to store it in a paper bag because that keeps it from contaminating anything," she said.



USC will distribute more than one cloth face coverings to students and employees, so people can wash them, according to Van Orman.
