New Confirmed COVID-19 Case at El Camino College
El Camino College received a confirmed report on April 20 that another member of the campus community has tested positive for COVID-19, the disease caused by the 2019 novel coronavirus. To protect patient privacy, the individual’s information is considered confidential and will not be disclosed.
This individual was last on campus on March 11. Because this was more than a month ago, the 14-day period of self-quarantine recommended by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health has passed. The entire El Camino College community sends this individual sincere wishes for a quick recovery.
As always, all El Camino College students and employees are asked to follow the directions given by public health officials and elected officials during this outbreak. This includes obeying the stay-at-home orders from Los Angeles County and the State of California, following correct social distancing practices, and continuing to maintain proper hygiene.
Actions El Camino College Has Taken
Prior to the stay-at-home orders being issued, El Camino College began moving all lecture classes and student services online. This action, taken March 13, was implemented for the health and safety of our campus community while still delivering needed instruction and support.
We will remain in this online mode through the end of Summer Session. Lab and activity classes that cannot be supported otherwise are cancelled. The majority of campus employees are working remotely, with only select essential personnel allowed on campus. Students, all other employees, and the public must remain off campus.
