COVID-19 Regional Statistics

cq-text-component-placeholder
cq-text-component-placeholder
Regional numbers are the best way to convey the relative level of COVID-19 vaccination in the students, staff, and faculty who may be on campus, given that personal medical information is private. Because we are not a residential campus, we reflect the surrounding community. In addition, the number of vaccines in the NKU community would not distinguish among those who come to campus regularly, come to campus rarely, or never come to campus, and so would not be informative regarding personal levels of risk. We are providing data from the areas that cover approximately 70% of the NKU community; the remainder of our regional community is primarily spread out around across 11 counties across Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky.

COVID Fully Vaccinated 

Being “fully vaccinated” means at least 14 days after the second shot for the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines or at least 14 days after the first (and only) shot of the J&J vaccine. For more information on vaccination, please see our Vaccine FAQ.

Active COVID Cases

Active cases obtained from the COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution (McKinsey) tracker.  Active cases per 100,000 were converted to active cases per 10,000 to better align with the previous COVID-19 NKU Dashboard.  A COVID-19 case is counted as active for the 14 days after a positive test result.

 

Level of Community Transmission

This metric combines two indicators for categorization: the number of new cases per 10,000 persons over the last 7 days and the percentage of positive tests.

Notice

The NKU data dashboard is being paused during NKU’s winter break because students will not be on campus and no traditional courses are being offered between 13 December and 3 January.

The data dashboard will resume on 4 January, with the 7-day rolling total for NKU cases returning on 11 January.

Regional numbers are the best way to convey the level of COVID-19 cases we would encounter as students, staff, and faculty on campus. Because we are not a residential campus, our borders are permeable and we reflect the surrounding community. In addition, the number of cases among the NKU community does not distinguish among those who come to campus regularly, come to campus rarely, or never come to campus, and so would not be informative regarding personal levels of risk. We are providing data from the areas that cover approximately 70% of the NKU community; the remainder of our regional community is primarily spread out around across 11 counties across Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky.

New Daily Cases
(per 100,000)

Sources:

Green values indicate the decrease in number compared to the day prior (or second latest data point in the system). Red values indicate the increase in number.

Rate of
Transmission

Sources:

  • Rt Live: Rt refers to the “effective reproduction number” of COVID-19. It is measure of how rapidly the disease is spreading in a community. An Rt of 1 means that, on average, each infected person spreads the disease to one other person.  An Rt of above 1 will quickly lead to a large number of cases; it indicates a trend towards exponential growth. An Rt of less than 1 will trend towards the end of an outbreak.

NKU Reported
Positive Cases

Sources:

  • Northern Kentucky University maintains these data to educate the campus and community about the number of positive COVID-19 cases among students and employees. Cases reported to NKU by all confirmed members of the NKU community are included, excepting high school students enrolled in NKU courses (their numbers are maintained by their respective school districts). If positive results are not self-reported by the affected student or employee, the University will not record that information on the dashboard. Numbers less than 5 are suppressed according to state data release policies. Confidentiality laws prohibit the University from disclosing identifying information about affected individuals.

    Members of the campus community who receive a positive test result from any testing agency should report it on the Self-reporting Positive Test Form.
