Rounding out the last week of classes before final exams, UF’s on-campus COVID-19 testing has remained at a 1% positivity rate and quarantine numbers have continued to drop.
From April 12 to Tuesday, nine UF employees and 70 students have tested positive for the virus — about half the number of employees and the same number of students who tested positive last week.
As of Monday, the university recorded 9,816 total positive tests since it began keeping track last March. This semester, 2,606 UF faculty, staff, students and other affiliates tested positive. Tests performed at on-campus locations have remained at a 1% seven-day average positivity rate.
