No, entering and exiting a proximity are two separate events. Use them to toggle a state that you can check for in the general update loop.

health = 100
healthloss = False

def onEnter(e):
	if e.target == target:
		healthloss = True
		
def onExit(e):
	if e.target == target:
		healthloss = False
		
manager.onEnter(sensor, onEnter)
manager.onExit(sensor, onExit)

# Demo
def update():
	if healthloss:
		health -= 2 * viz.elapsed()
