According to a UC Berkeley student affairs email, students living in campus residence halls will no longer have to self-sequester starting Tuesday.

After a downward trend of UC Berkeley COVID-19 cases, campus will lift the general self-sequester for residential hall students effective Tuesday.
Students who have not been asked by University Health Services to quarantine or isolate themselves can now leave their rooms and floors while following social distancing guidelines and wearing masks. During the self-sequester, which went into effect Feb. 1, students were unable to leave their rooms for solo outdoor exercise.
