NOTE: Georgia Southern diligently tracks and reports both university confirmed and self-reported positive cases to ensure timely contact notification and to mitigate the spread of the virus amongst the population. This report should not be compared to other institutions that report only confirmed positive cases.
- “Positive Cases” = Reports to the CARES center by students and employees who have self reported they have tested positive for COVID-19, PLUS numbers of positive results that have come back from tests that the university has administered.
- “University Confirmed” = The number of positive results that have come back from tests ordered by Athletics or by University Health Services.
- * “Self Reported” = Calls or forms submitted to CARES Center from individuals who claimed to have received a positive COVID-19 test result.
- “By Role” = Primary role at Georgia Southern University as reported by respondents (“Employees” = faculty and staff).
- “By Campus” = Self reported “home” campus by students or employees regardless of their physical presence on that campus.
- “Day Total” = Total number of positive cases logged into the CARES Center per day.
- “Weekly Cumulative Total” = Total number of positive cases – both university confirmed and self-reported – logged into the CARES Center per week.
Total confirmed positive cases for week of 8/2/2021 to 8/8/2021 = 16
