As you know, we tested students and employees for COVID upon their return to campus on January 3 and 4. I’m writing now to share a picture of the COVID positive cases in our community as of today. This message will serve as this week’s community COVID update and will also be linked in Just the Facts under the COVID Data header. The table below describes the numbers and percentage of active COVID cases in four subsets of our population.These totals include both the results of our testing and the results provided to us by individuals who did not return to campus because they had recently tested positive on their own.
