Dear Bereans,<\/p>\n
This is the\u00a0update for\u00a0Tuesday,\u00a0September 6,\u00a02022.<\/p>\n
As of this morning, we have four students in quarantine having tested positive, two on campus and two at their homes. We have two on-campus employees quarantining with positive tests and three positive employees who work remotely.\u00a0 The on-campus Bereans who have tested positive work in Lincoln Hall and Stephenson Hall.\u00a0 (These numbers represent a slight improvement from last week.)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The number of new reported cases in the Commonwealth continues to hover in the 12,000 to 14,000 per week range:\u00a0 12,830 for this past week.\u00a0 That is about 1830 new cases per day.\u00a0 The test positivity rate remains very high; for the past week it was 18.40% down from 20.07% last week. \u00a0The number of deaths in the state is holding pretty steady, 78 this past week, vs. 76 the week before (i.e., about 11\/day) in the Commonwealth.<\/p>\n
Madison County\u2019s COVID community level remains in the \u201cYellow\u201d designation, and our neighboring counties, Jackson, Rockcastle and Estill, are in \u201cYellow,\u201d too.\u00a0 Other adjacent counties are \u201cRed.\u201d\u00a0 Overall, we seem to be in a bit of a holding pattern state-wide.<\/p>\n
With no real change in the situation, the AC is not making any policy adjustments.\u00a0 We do thank Bereans for all the care being taken; it seems to be working well on campus.<\/p>\n
