According to Friday’s update, seven new COVID-19 cases have been reported among UI students and six among UI employees between Wednesday and Friday. That’s a total of 2,868 student cases and 386 employee cases since the beginning of the fall 2020 semester.

Three residence hall occupants are currently under quarantine and none are in self-isolation. Quarantine is used to keep someone who might have been exposed to COVID-19 away from others, while self-isolation is used to separate people infected with the virus from people who are not infected.
