Current status: Regional transmission rates increasing, but still low

Regional case rates continue to increase but, so far, the rate of increase has been modest. The incline began at the beginning of July, so we could expect cases to increase for about six weeks from that date.

On campus, Augsburg still has not had a confirmed case of COVID-19 this summer.

The data in the table below are Augsburg’s COVID-19 metrics as of July 24 and regional/statewide metrics for July 4-10. For data on prior weeks, see Augsburg’s COVID-19 Dashboard Metrics report.

Metric	Status
Cases within the on-campus community	New confirmed cases this week: 0 employees 0 on-campus students On-campus student cases over 14 days = 0%
% of isolation beds full	0%
7-day case rate per 10,000	2.2 Hennepin County 2.0 Ramsey County 1.8 statewide
Change in 7-day case rate per 10,000	+0.7 Hennepin County +0.5 Ramsey County +0.5 statewide

Notes:

• Due to standard delays in receiving and confirming case reports, recent data in this report may be incomplete.
• The total student number used to calculate the percent of on-campus student cases for each week includes students who live on campus, have a course that meets in person, participate in research programs or athletic teams, and/or lead summer orientation. The total for the week of July 18-24 is 242.
• Regional and statewide metrics are reported by the Minnesota Department of Health.
