Full Notification

Preliminary test results indicate that an El Segundo resident has tested positive for coronavirus disease 2019 known as COVID-19.

The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (LACDPH) is aware of the case and is following-up with the positive resident. LACDPH will also follow-up with any persons who may have had close personal contact with the individual. To maintain patient confidentiality, the City cannot share any other details on this case.

Cases are considered presumptive until the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has confirmed the results. The City does not know the source of exposure and whether it was through the community or exposure to an individual known to have COVID-19.

This case is not cause for alarm, but a reminder that members of the public should continue to use general health practices and follow "Safer at Home" guidelines that prevent the spread of viruses in general.
