Wright State University (WSU) created a dashboard to display coronavirus cases, currently displaying five active cases.
The updated dashboard reports 5 total active cases, four students and one employee. They are all self reported and have not been confirmed by Environmental Health and Safety (EHS).
WSU's website lists definitions for confirmed cases and for self-reported cases. WSU has not yet had a confirmed case of coronavirus.
A confirmed case will be recorded once the "home county health department of an individual who has tested positive for COVID-19 has notified Wright State's Office of Environmental Health and Safety and is working with the university to commence contact tracing because the individual is believed to have been on campus recently," according to WSU's website.
A self-reported case is defined as a case from a WSU student or employee "who may or may not have been on campus recently and has self-reported that they have tested positive," according to the website.
EHS will be the point of contact for all university-related probable or confirmed coronavirus cases, according to WSU's website.
After EHS is notified, they will call or email the individual with a positive or probable case to start the process of contact tracing.
"Testing and exposure information will be kept confidential. Gathering testing information from across the university allows us to understand patterns in community spread and make informed decisions to keep our community members safe," according to WSU's website.
