COVID-19 Health & Safety

UMBC’s Public Health Dashboard was updated with new data on December 16. There were six new positive on-campus cases during this reporting period. Our current positivity rate is 1.4 percent, which we recognize is higher than it has been for most of the semester. We believe this is mostly due to a significant reduction in on-campus testing as the semester closed, meaning that the University is only receiving self-reports of positive tests.

For some the holidays are a difficult time this year and some are struggling with the loss of traditions due to COVID-19 and other circumstances. This article includes helpful information and resources.
