ABOUT THE DASHBOARD
- Information is updated each Friday by 5:00 p.m. The dashboard uses the most accurate figures available at the time of posting.
- Weekly updates allow the university to protect the privacy of student and employee information while enabling UMHB to observe and share campus health trends. The university will strictly observe privacy and confidentiality laws (FERPA, HIPAA) regarding the disclosure of personally identifiable information of individuals.
- Those who are working or learning in an exclusively remote arrangement, who have not been on campus, are not reported in these numbers.
- Any UMHB student, employee or on-campus contractor who is known to have had close contact (as defined by CDC) with a person in the campus community who tests positive for COVID-19 will be notified of the contact by either Student Life or Human Resources, and will be required to quarantine for 14 days, beginning with the last date of exposure.
- It is important to note that quarantine numbers include those who have reported exposure that occurred both on and off campus.
Definitions
Isolation is used to separate people who have COVID-19 symptoms or who have been diagnosed with COVID-19 away from people who are not infected. If a person is symptomatic or COVID-19 positive, the person must self-isolate for a minimum of 10 days until specific recovery criteria are met.
Quarantine is used to keep someone away from others if he or she has been exposed to a person with lab-confirmed COVID-19. When an individual has been exposed (including close contact), that person will be quarantined for a 14-day period beginning with the last known date of exposure. If the person develops COVID-19 symptoms or tests positive during quarantine, the person's status will be changed to Isolation.
Close Contact: The CDC defines close contact as within 6 feet for at least 15 minutes. More information on exposure to COVID-19 can be found here and at:
