UMBC Public Health Dashboard
This dashboard provides timely data about the prevalence of COVID-19 within our main campus, based on UMBC’s on-campus testing and reported results from off-campus testing among UMBC faculty, staff, and students who are approved to be on campus this fall. All community members approved to be on campus must complete COVID-19 testing, daily symptom tracking, and health and safety training requirements. Every positive case has received appropriate follow-up. 8/27/20 – 9/15/20 test data primarily reflects post-Labor Day testing of residential students; we are still awaiting around 120 test results. Cumulative 8/13/20 – 9/15/20 test data also includes pre-semester testing of all populations approved to be on campus. Learn more through UMBC’s Health & Safety page.
