Covid Policies

These guidelines reflect the latest Instructions for COVID-19 Cases and Close Contact in alignment with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and California Department of Public Health (CDPH) guidance, California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) regulations, as well as the latest Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (LACDPH), Health Officer Order. 

Instructions for Positive Individuals: Individuals who test positive for COVID-19 must stay home and away from others. Parents of students who test positive are strongly recommended to upload their test results to Daily Pass. Individuals who test positive can return before Day 10 provided symptoms are improving, and they have been fever-free for the past 24 hours without fever-reducing medication. Individuals returning before day 10 must continue to wear a highly protective mask at all times indoors or around others outdoors, except when eating or drinking, for 10 days. Students returning before Day 10 must mask through their infectious period. They may unmask sooner if they have two sequential negative tests taken at least 24 hours apart. 

Isolation/Infectious Period for Positive Individuals According to LACDPH, all individuals who test positive for COVID-19 must stay home away from others “Day 0” represents the day the positive test was taken or symptoms began. “Day 1” represents the day after the positive test was taken or symptoms began.

Asymptomatic individuals who test positive are required to wear a high quality mask for 10 days after testing positive if they remain on campus. Day 0 is the day the first positive test was collected. If symptoms develop, the new Day 0 is the first day of symptom onset.

Symptomatic individuals who test positive must stay home until fever free for 24 hours without medication, and other symptoms are mild or improving, with their symptom onset date as Day 0. They may return before Day 10, provided symptoms are improving and they have been fever-free for the past 24 hours without fever-reducing medication.
