Note: A regular review of data revealed
some double-counting of surveillance tests in recent weeks. This error has now
been corrected. The double-counting affected cumulative testing numbers, and
also had a slight impact on the calculation of positivity rates through last
week. Numbers related to quarantine and isolation remain unchanged, and this
week’s positivity rate was calculated using the actual number of tests
administered. Dashboard data from previous weeks remains available at www.hendrix.edu/news.
Total Cases and Testing Summary*
Includes available
data from all available reporting sources since December 25, 2020.
Current Total Active Cases
Includes active
cases and close contacts from all available reporting sources.
In addition to the internal indicators above, Hendrix
leadership also monitors COVID-19 variables in the state of Arkansas and
locally (Faulkner and Pulaski Counties). Two important indicators are the
number of new cases and testing positivity, which indicates how widespread the
disease is in the area.
