When to Report

Early childhood education (ECE) programs, K-12 schools, and institutions of higher education (IHE) are required to notify the Long Beach Department of Health and Human Services when they meet the reporting threshold of three or more child, student, or staff cases of COVID-19 in the same setting (age group, class, grade, room number, sports team, club, dorm, etc.) within a 7-day period.

How to Report

The Long Beach Department of Health and Human Services utilizes the statewide COVID-19 reporting system, SPOT (Shared Portal for Outbreak Tracking).

SPOT allows Early Childhood Education (ECE) programs, K-12 schools, and Institutions of Higher Education (IHE) to send information to California’s secure public health data management system called CalCONNECT, where Long Beach Department of Health and Human Services (LBDHHS) can efficiently review reports and determine if additional guidance is needed.
