February 22 COVID Dashboard Update
Last week we reported a change to the Broad Institute’s testing processes beginning January 25 that impacted a small number of test results among the WPI community: a handful of previous positive tests were now listed as inconclusive. The changes to those tests was reflected in the Dashboard on the appropriate reporting days and will also impact the university’s 7-day positive rate and the 30-day positive rate as of today.
Daily Report
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 of Worcester, 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.
