About the Dashboard Archive
Northwestern introduced self-reported at-home and off-site test results into the data beginning the week of Dec. 17, 2021. Community members generally report off-site or at-home test results only in the case of a positive test, inflating the resulting positivity rate. Self-reported test results continue to be reflected in the subsequent data.
Northwestern offered minimal on-site testing during the weeks of Dec. 17-23 and Dec. 24-30 due to Winter Recess. Those weeks are largely reflective of off-campus self-reported cases.
On Jan 21, 2022 adjusted totals for Dec 31-Jan 13 were posted to remove multiple positive results from the same individuals who re-tested after their 5-day isolation period.
Confirmed case counts are based on data from Northwestern’s various testing vendors. It includes Northwestern University students, staff and faculty. This data
may include the same individuals under more than one category
if they have multiple university roles.
Confirmed case counts include self-reported external test results; however, the chart will reflects only results submitted prior to the close of the week.
