COVID-19 cases indicated on this dashboard include positive, laboratory-verified test results by College-authorized testing agencies among students, faculty and staff approved to access campus. The dashboard is updated every weekday.
To protect confidentiality and privacy, Lafayette will not disclose any identifying information about affected individuals. Students who have tested positive will move to isolation accommodations. Students determined through contact tracing to be at risk for exposure who are not able to quarantine in place will be assigned to quarantine space.
All active case counts are classified generally to the best of the College’s knowledge. These counts are intended to provide guidance to help the College and the local community generally understand patterns of positive cases and not to replace contact tracing efforts by the College and local health departments.
State and regional dashboards
COVID-19 dashboards are also being maintained by the Pennsylvania Department of Health and Northampton County.
