With the recent rise in COVID-19 cases in Los Angeles County, colleges and universities have started their school year online.

Schools are expecting a significant number of students testing positive for COVID-19 and require isolation. To give students more time to get tested or recover from COVID-19, many schools have either postponed the date for students to return to campus or decided to conduct classes online.
