Total Tested* | Total Active Positive | Active Positivity Rate |
Total Positivity Rate |
2,320 | 1 | .04% | 4.8% |
*Total number of tests completed since August 20 are 2087. Total positives (105) and Active (9) and those clinically cleared (96) and 5.0% positivity rate.
Definitions
Total Tested = (asymptomatic and symptomatic tests performed on LHU students, faculty and staff)
Total Active Positive = Total number of current, active positive cases that have not yet been clinically
cleared.
Active Positivity Rate = Active positive cases divided by the total number of tests.
Total Positivity Rate = Reboot date of September 6, 2020 and XXX number of positive tests by total number
of tests completed (positive tests)/(total tests) x 100 = Clinical cleared – 10 days
passed the date of their first positive
1. For Persons Who Tested Positive but have NOT had COVID-19 Symptoms in Home Isolation: Time-Based Strategy: Persons with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 who have not had any symptoms and were directed to care for themselves at home may discontinue isolation under the following conditions:
- At least 10 days have passed since the date of their first positive COVID-19 diagnostic test assuming they have not subsequently developed symptoms since their positive test.
- If they develop symptoms, then the symptom-based or test-based strategy should be used.
2. Symptom-Based Strategy Persons with COVID-19 who have symptoms and were directed to care for themselves at home may discontinue isolation under the following conditions:
- At least 10 days have passed since symptoms first appeared; and,
- At least 24 hours have passed since last fever without the use of fever-reducing medications; and,
- Symptoms (e.g., fever, dry cough, tiredness, shortness of breath, aches & pains, loss of taste or smell, headache) have improved
Please see further details provided by DOH and directed by Centers of Disease Control (CDC):
As recommended by PA Department of Health, Centers of Disease Control and World Health
Organization as well as our local Infectious Disease Prevention Medical team - those
who tested positive for COVID-19 should NOT be retested. Experts note that “Since the PCR test is detecting nucleic acid of COVID-19,
a positive test after the 10-day isolation is likely detecting nucleic acid of dead
virus”
