We can all work together this year to help reduce the spread of COVID-19. Below are some of the protocols we’re implementing, as well as ways residents can help protect themselves and each other.
All residents are required to wear face coverings in any space outside of their apartment. Per the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, children under the age of 2 (including infants) should not wear cloth face coverings. Those between the ages of 2 and 8 should use them but under adult supervision to ensure that the child can breathe safely and avoid choking or suffocation. Children with breathing problems should not wear a face covering. This includes, but is not limited to, common areas, hallways and elevators. Residents are also expected to wear face coverings when any UCLA employee is in their residence. This includes, but is not limited to, maintenance professionals and housekeeping personnel.
Other expectations include:
- Respecting closures and limits on community spaces including bathrooms, common spaces and study areas, and restrictions on events and social activities, per public health guidance
- Required isolation/quarantine for residents who are exposed to or test positive to COVID-19 (symptomatic or asymptomatic)
