Updated February 27, 2021
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.

Key: COVID-19 Transmission Level Metrics
Transmission Level | Cases on campus | Case management | % of isolation beds full | Test and PPE | 14-day case rate per 10,000 | Change in 7-day case rate per 10,000 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Low | <1% over 14 days | Contacts identifiable | < 50% | Good | < 10 | 7-day case rate steady or declining |
Moderate | 1% – 3% over 14 days | 5%+ of cases with unknown links | 50% – 75% | Test result delays; less than 10 day PPE | 10 – 30 | 7-day case rate increasing |
High | 3%+ over 14 days | Student/employee non-compliance | 75% + | Continued issues with testing or PPE | 30+ | Continued local case increases |
Sustained | No improvement over 2-week period following implementation of High Transmission Level mitigation efforts |
