The Champaign-Urbana Public Health District includes the University of Illinois testing sites in it’s daily numbers, but beginning next week you will be able to track those results separately on the University’s COVID website.
Here is some data from the testing so far, shared in an Illinois Massmail today.
We have conducted more than 60,000 tests since we began the program in July. During this time we watched our daily positivity rate drop from about 1.5% to below 0.2%. The positivity rate this week has ranged between 0.3 and 0.5 percent. These rates are several times lower than the corresponding positivity rate for our Restore Illinois region and ten times below the maximum levels that the World Health Organization recommends.
So, if you are a person like me who obsessively looks at the CUPHD numbers every day, here is another opportunity to watch what is happening with COVID in our community.
