COVID-19 Lab
Testing Dashboard

The University of New Hampshire posts results from its ongoing, regular COVID-19 testing of faculty, staff and students on all three of its campuses (Durham, Manchester, Concord) and vaccination information every weekday, excluding holidays. The health and safety of our community remain our top priorities and this data is reviewed regularly by senior leadership and used to make decisions about campus operations.

  • The positivity rate reflected on our dashboard is a 7-day average and aligns our reporting with state and federal agencies. Please note that active cases include third-party and external results reported to Health & Wellness. When the positivity rate exceeds 1% there can be a lag in posting the CLIA certified results (that confirm initial screening tests flagged for retesting). During the break there is also a delay in people returning to Health & Wellness for confirmatory testing.

Important Notes:

  • Data are presented according to the date tests are administered. Counts for most recent dates may be incomplete, but will be updated as results are reported.
  • Cases include UNH students, faculty, staff and contractors reported from all sources, including those outside of the UNH testing program.
  • Isolation keeps someone who is sick or tested positive for COVID-19 without symptoms away from others. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/downloads/COVID-19-Quarantine-vs-Isolation.pdf
  • Quarantine refers to the practice of separating individuals who have had close contact with someone with COVID-19 to determine whether they develop symptoms or test positive for the disease. Quarantine also reduces the risk of transmission if an individual is later found to have COVID-19. Quarantine for COVID-19 should last for a period of 14 days after the exposure has ended.
  • A close contact is defined as any individual who was within 6 feet of an infected person for at least 10-15 minutes starting from 2 days before illness onset (or, for asymptomatic patients, 2 days prior to positive specimen collection) until the time the patient is isolated.
  • Average Daily Total Tests is the average of all tests conducted in the last seven days, including those with a positive, negative, inconclusive or pending status.
  • Total Results represents the count of tests with a result of positive or negative.
  • Positivity rate is the percentage of positive tests in relation to the total resulted tests. (Note: Students are routinely tested multiple times per week as part of the University's testing protocol).
  • Positive Tests as % of People Tested is the percentage of positive tests in relation to the testing population.
  • Cumulative data reflects UNH’s initiation of protocols starting in late July for regular screening through COVID-19 testing. See details of UNH's testing program.
