COVID-19 Dashboard

The Virginia Department of Health assumes responsibility for all reporting of COVID-19 cases, including contact tracing. However, in an effort to keep the campus community informed, the University of Mary Washington has chosen to initiate a COVID-19 case dashboard. Identifying information has been purposefully omitted from the dashboard, which is limited to empirical data in an effort to protect individual privacy.

The dashboard contains information that contributes to the assessment of the University’s status but cannot be considered a complete representation of the actual number of cases or degree of illness on campus, and is not intended to serve as a decision-making tool.

The COVID-19 Dashboard is updated daily, Monday through Friday.

Self-Reports

UMW community members are encouraged – but not required – to self-report, using the Self-Report a Case form. Those who self-report may be based in a remote location and have not necessarily been on campus. Self-reported cases are not verified.

Student Health Center Tests

Any UMW student showing symptoms associated with COVID-19 is eligible for testing at UMW’s Student Health Center (SHC). The SHC supplies the total number of symptomatic tests it has conducted each day, including point-of-care antigen tests and follow-up PCR tests, as well as the number of those tests yielding positive results.

Cases

The number of cases reflects a combination of all confirmed cases reported to the University since Aug. 31, 2020, including those that have been self-reported, reported by the Student Health Center, and those obtained through surveillance testing. This column also includes a seven-day moving average of new cases per day.

Isolation and Quarantine

All UMW students, faculty, staff and contractors who test positive for COVID-19 or have been exposed to a confirmed case are expected to follow CDC guidelines for quarantine (exposure) or isolation (positive test). The figures in this column show the number of remaining spaces available to students who fall into these categories.

Surveillance Tests

All members of the UMW community are expected to participate in support of campus disease surveillance. The figures in this column reflect the total number of randomly conducted COVID-19 surveillance tests issued per week, the number of those tests yielding positive results, and the percentage of positivity. This column is updated each Friday.
