1/21/21: During the Tartan Testing ramp up phase, earlier this week, we learned a few testing recipients received a false positive result. The root cause of these false positives was related to the process we were previously using to establish the detection thresholds. To ensure accuracy and precision moving forward, we have since adjusted our detection threshold limits and will continue to monitor as we gain more experience. The previously reported positive cases and test results were adjusted on the dashboard to reflect accurate totals.
10/7/20: A positive case in the Faculty and Staff, Not Present On Campus category on 10/5/20, was initially mistakenly listed as a New Case(s) Confirmed on 10/6/20. This case has correctly been moved to the Week of 9/29/20 - 10/5/20 Confirmed Case(s) box.
9/24/20: Asymptomatic arrival testing data were amended to reflect a computational error. Total Results Received was corrected from 5,925 to 5,686. Percentage of Positive Tests was adjusted from 0.57% to 0.59%. Data regarding Positive Results Received was unaffected.
9/18/20: Student arrival testing ends.
9/17/20: CMU was notified by P23 Labs, a third-party lab, that there was a data transfer error in the reporting of testing results for a small group of students invited to participate in the arrival screening. The impacted students were immediately notified by the lab of this error. The University has reached out to each impacted student, and all have been provided another opportunity to get tested as part of our weekly ongoing asymptomatic testing program, which is being jointly administered by a different partner lab. These errors are not reflected in any of the dashboard data.
9/16/20: Weekly student testing, random samplings, begins.
8/19/20 – 9/10/20: Student arrival testing conducted.
