COVID-19 Response
Latest updates, information and planning

Dashboard

Updated Weekdays at 3 p.m. Last updated September 17, 2021.

This dashboard provides information to the campus community and the public about vaccinations and on-campus COVID-19 test results among current UW–Madison faculty, staff and students. UW–Madison will not disclose names or other information that could potentially identify a person who has tested positive for COVID-19. Anyone who tests positive is directed to self-isolate and seek appropriate medical care.

Note: Beginning Sept. 16 the dashboard will update at 3 p.m. weekdays, instead of 2 p.m. so that we can pull in and present county and state case numbers from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services.

About the Data

  • This dashboard features data from testing performed on campus.
  • The dashboard is updated by 2 p.m. on weekdays.
  • Data from a previous day may change if additional information becomes available.
  • Testing data includes results from mandatory weekly testing for students and employees who have not provided proof of vaccination and results from voluntary testing available to all students and employees. Mandatory testing applies to all enrolled students coming to the main UW–Madison campus for any purpose and employees on the main UW–Madison campus who have not provided proof of vaccination. Students who are also employees are counted under students.
  • Vaccination data is based on the number of enrolled students coming to the main UW–Madison campus for any purpose and on the number of employees on the main UW­–Madison campus.
  • This dashboard does not distinguish between students living on or off campus.
