Current status: Return to moderate transmission rate on-campus

Augsburg’s on-campus case rate returned to the moderate range (1%-3% of the on-campus student population) during the final week of February. Most of the 14 student cases during the week were asymptomatic individuals identified through the surveillance testing conducting three times a week in Athletics. With 14 cases confirmed in a single week, the 14-day on campus transmission rate will remain at least in the moderate range through the first week of March.

Current metrics (as of February 27 except where noted). See Augsburg’s weekly COVID-19 metrics report for data from prior weeks.
