*Los Angeles County Department of Public Health began reporting cases of positive COVID-19 based on the zip code the patient listed in the medical records. This reporting started on March 22, 2020 and El Segundo has had 32 reported cases.

**The Centers for Disease Control recommends a 14-day quarantine once a patient tests positive and then recommends a follow-up test to validate that the patient doesn’t have active virus load. It has been determined that a majority of cases resolve within the 14-day period, however some patients remain symptomatic beyond the 14-day period. This reporting of active cases takes a more generalized approach however, all patients are encouraged to follow medical guidance.
