COVID Friday Update
Posted November 20, 2020
November 20, 2020
Colleagues and Students,
Health Service staff performed the highest amount of screening tests this week with 188. The positivity rate remained low at 2.86% for the week. This week’s confirmed positive cases for those self-reporting or those identified through SIUE testing dropped slightly with 17 for students and 4 for faculty/staff. The number of current 14-day new positive tests stands at 41 students and 9 faculty/staff. For a more in-depth look at SIUE’s COVID numbers, you may connect to the COVID Dashboard by clicking here.
With the reported increase in cases in the state, it is important to obtain a screening test as another defense mechanism. Information on local area testing sites is located here. Screening appointments on campus will be available the week of Nov. 30.
We remain grateful for your resilience and efforts to support the health and safety of our community. We will keep you informed of any additional changes that may need to occur.
Be well.
Randy Pembrook, Chancellor
Denise Cobb, Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs
Rachel Stack, Vice Chancellor for Advancement
