New Confirmed COVID-19 Case at El Camino College

El Camino College received a confirmed report on June 30 that a 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 June 22. It has been confirmed that proper social distancing guidelines were followed at all times and there was no close contact with other individuals. Nevertheless, individuals who may have been present in the same area of campus as the person who tested positive have been ascertained and notified by the Director of Risk Management, Michael Pascual. If you did not receive an email notification from Michael Pascual, you were not present in the same area. Areas the affected individual is known to have visited before testing positive for COVID-19 have been identified and will undergo thorough disinfection.  

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.
