As of May 15, 2022, WPI is transitioning to optional COVID testing for the campus community. We will continue to report known cases to the Worcester Board of Health but will no longer be updating this dashboard. This page will be retired as of May 27, 2022.
WPI is closely tracking the health of our community through frequent, routine COVID-19 testing of every student, faculty member, employee, and contract worker that will physically be on campus. This data, combined with related trends in the city, region and state, will help inform the ongoing operating status of the WPI campus. The dashboard is updated each business day, Monday through Friday, at 4 pm to include the previous day's results as of 11:59 pm. Please refer to definitions below the dashboard for more information on how data is calculated.
