Testing by Population

Totals released by USC Student Health reflect testing numbers for students and employees. Results are updated weekly (data points show the beginning date of week represented).

Isolation and Quarantine

Individuals who are exposed to a positive COVID-19 case (sharing indoor airspace for a combined total of 15 minutes or longer within a 24-hour period) should 1) monitor their health for 10 days; 2) wear a well-fitted, high-quality mask when around others; and 3) test on days 3-5 from the date of exposure. Those who test positive are required to isolate for a minimum of 5 days and until they have a negative antigen test result. USC is prepared to provide student support through dedicated accommodations and regular check-ins.
