Danforth Campus COVID-19 dashboard now available
An online dashboard is now available to track positive cases of COVID-19 on the Danforth Campus. The dashboard shows results for:
- COVID-19 entry testing for all Danforth Campus students at the start of the fall semester starting Aug. 31, 2020
- Testing results (diagnostic, entry and surveillance combined) for Danforth Campus students, faculty and staff beginning Aug. 1, 2020
During the entry phase of student testing, the dashboard will include the number of tests administered, the number of positive cases, and the resulting total percent positivity.
After the entry phase is complete on Sept. 25, all undergraduate students will be tested every two weeks for the duration of the fall semester and the university will also provide testing for all students, faculty and staff who develop COVID-19-related symptoms at any time during the semester. These results will be reflected in a separate, interactive dashboard that will be added to the page when this phase begins.
The dashboard will be updated every Monday and Thursday.
Undergraduate student testing reminder
All Danforth Campus students are required to complete COVID-19 entry testing at the start of the semester. Undergraduate students living in Residential Life housing were tested during move-in, and undergraduate students not living in Residential Life housing will be tested this week, Sept. 14-18. Any undergraduate students who are in St. Louis, living in non-Residential Life housing, who do not complete testing by the end of this week will have their ID card swipe access to Danforth Campus buildings turned off.
Instructions for requesting an appointment and completing testing are available here. Students who previously tested positive within the last 90 days or who are living in the St. Louis region but will not be coming to campus may request an exemption to the mandatory testing program. See the surveillance testing exemption policy for more information.
All graduate and professional students who will work, teach, conduct research or take classes on the Danforth Campus this fall will also be required to complete a university-provided COVID-19 test. These will be administered Sept. 21-25 and students will receive instructions from their schools for how to register.
