ISU launches dashboard to track COVID 19 cases

Indiana State University is posting numbers on a new dashboard.

The numbers show the amount of COVID-19 cases of students and staff.

Indiana state university is coming forward with dozens of positive covid 19 cases... just days after starting classes.

Good evening and thanks for joining us.

The school is reporting 27 students with the virus.

5 are isolating on campus.... 22 are off campus.

Meanwhile... 4 "employees" have tested positive.

School leaders say they're reporting these numbers to maintain transparency.

Students and faculty who've been in close contact with these positive cases are quarantining right now.

All of these numbers are visible to the public right now... it's on a new dashboard on isu's website.

It's purpose is to let everyone know how many students and employees are in isolation or in quarantine because of covid-19.

The dashboard will report separate numbers for students and employees.

It'll be updated by noon on weekdays.

It will "not" have identifying information of patients.

There's a link to that dashboard on our website.
