The university on Monday closed the Mission Bay Aquatic Center, the Aztec Recreation Center temporarily and the Faculty Staff Club. SDSU will temporarily suspend operations at the cultural centers Monday and Tuesday to "allow for a space analysis for social distancing guidelines to be completed before reopening," according to the university. The reopening dates for those centers will be announced at a later date.

The university said it was supporting the student and his roommates, "ensuring that they have the resources they need."
