New Positive Cases
The University will not disclose the identity of any employee or student who is diagnosed with or is suspected of having COVID-19 in any external communication. Internally, that information will only be provided on a need-to-know basis as part of any contact tracing.
Cases listed have been confirmed positive through a molecular diagnostic test. Tallies of students include both undergraduate and graduate students. Tallies of employees include faculty, staff and individuals physically working on a UD campus on a contract basis or through a subcontractor of the University.
Detailed information about COVID cases and testing within the State of Delaware can be found on Delaware’s My Healthy Communities Dashboard. With approximately 9,000 students living off campus this semester, the State dashboard data bolsters the UD data presented here.
Note: Tallies are updated each weekday and may not include individuals who obtained their results in other states.
NOTES
Asymptomatic surveillance tests are conducted by UD Monday through Thursdays, except University holidays.
Symptomatic tests are conducted by Student Health Services Monday through Fridays, except University holidays
Cases in the "Community Reported to UD" chart are positive COVID-19 cases that were reported to the University, and were conducted by outside testing providers.
New COVID-19 test results are posted the day the results are received.
Campus Screenings
Daily Health Screenings
Students, faculty, staff and visitors will be required to complete a short online health screening survey each day prior to entering a campus facility.
Sept. 16, 2021: We have recently adjusted our reporting of the daily health check questionnaires to be inclusive of a 24-hour timeframe. We have retroactively adjusted the numbers starting Aug. 28, 2021 to more accurately reflect the number of students, employees and visitors filling out the questionnaires for the entirety of the day. The change is exclusive to the daily health check questionnaires tally.
Testing on Campus - Reported Weekly
Testing on campus is updated weekly. For additional information regarding UD's overall testing strategy, visit the Testing page.
State-Sponsored Asymptomatic Testing on UD's campus grounds remains open to the public. As of January 2022, the number of tests performed is no longer reported to the University.
Symptomatic Testing of Students
Student Health Services conducts tests for symptomatic students in the Newark area who are experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms. Any positive cases from symptomatic testing at Student Health Services will be included in the UD case numbers when they are updated each business day.
UD-Sponsored Asymptomatic Testing
Each Monday through Thursday the University conducts asymptomatic surveillance testing. Any positive cases from asymptomatic testing will be included in UD case numbers when they are updated each business day.
