Latest figures on cases at University of Nottingham.
Figures show the number of active cases of COVID-19 for staff and students who are still in the self-isolation period following a positive test result.
The number of active cases of COVID-19 continues a downward trend, reducing by 95% since October, to leave a total of 82 active cases at the University.
Of this total, there are 58 active cases among students. Active cases among staff remain low at 24 cases.
From a total student population of 35,000 and staff population of 10,000, the number of active cases of COVID-19 are as follows.
Alongside the national ‘Pillar 2’ testing regime for people with symptoms of COVID-19, the University has also commenced its own asymptomatic testing programme which will identify cases earlier and more quickly.
While this will mean that the case data may be higher than other universities, they can identify cases that otherwise would remain undetected and thereby reduce asymptomatic transmission and the number of future cases.
While students are advised that they must also report absence directly to schools using existing processes, more detailed case information will be provided to schools as required via faculty operations directors to assist local planning and timetabling.
