EnTry to Campus Protocol for Students

Students are encouraged to perform daily health screenings for infectious diseases,
including COVID-19, and to stay home or seek medical care for any symptoms identified.

The "Report a Positive COVID-19 Case" form is available via the MyCompton portal and includes questions necessary to determine quarantine and isolation guidelines and assist with contact tracing.

LACDPH Quarantine Instructions for Close Contacts:

If you are a close contact to someone with COVID-19 and you have no symptoms, you do not need to quarantine.*

You are required to:

1. Wear a highly protective mask for 10 days
2. Get tested 3-5 days after you were last exposed
   -- If your test result is positive, isolate
   -- If you tested positive for COVID-19 within the last 90 days, testing is not recommended unless you get symptoms
3. Monitor your health for 10 days
   If symptoms start, test right away and stay home away from others. If you test positive, follow isolation requirements at ph.lacounty.gov/covidisolation/.

*Some close contacts are required to quarantine, for example if they are not fully vaccinated and are staying in a high-risk setting. Quarantine means staying away from others in case you become infected. Some people who are close contacts may choose to quarantine as an extra precaution to limit their exposures.

Note: Day 0 is the day of your last contact (exposure) with the infected person. Day 1 is the first full day after your last exposure.
