COVID-19 Data Dashboard
UD is sharing information on this site about the status of campus activity this fall and COVID-19 positive cases among members of the campus community to aid in informing our community about public health.
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.
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.
Asymptomatic Testing of Students and Employees
Each Wednesday the University conducts asymptomatic surveillance testing. Asymptomatic testing reports will update weekly. Any positive cases from asymptomatic testing will be included in UD case numbers when they are updated each business day.
For additional information regarding UD's overall testing strategy, visit the Testing, Screening, Tracing page.

Course Mode of Delivery
Summer 2021: Research
UD launched Phase 4 of research operations on May 21, 2021.
Phase 4 allows for all on-campus research to be permitted, including undergraduate research, computational research, in-person human subjects research, and extension/outreach activities. No application is required. Please note that shuttered buildings/facilities need to be approved for reopening before personnel can enter.

In a typical year, our residence halls are at or exceeding occupancy. Priority for housing in Spring 2021 was provided to students who have a guaranteed housing contract and have been identified by their college as needing to be on campus for academic continuity.
