Current Status of Indicators
Updated March14, 2024
CHAT (Community Health Advisory Team) monitors key campus and regional health metrics ("indicators") to detect changes in the transmission of COVID-19 and in the capacity of the health infrastructure and the university in general. A comprehensive view of the indicators, together with guidance from the state and local government, determines the University posture ("alert level"), which provides guidelines for university operations.
The current status of our indicators can be found below. More details about indicators and alert levels can be found on the alert level information page.
