Yale’s COVID-19 Response

This website provides actionable insight for members of the Yale community about the University’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

These data reflect results from Yale’s asymptomatic testing program for students (both undergraduate and graduate/professional), faculty, and staff, along with tests of symptomatic students. Unlike testing in other parts of the nation (much of which is limited to symptomatic testing), we are proactively testing students and faculty/staff in contact with students, not just those who are experiencing symptoms or have known contact with a positive case. As a result, many of the positive test results we report are asymptomatic infections that other testing programs would miss.

Yale’s COVID-19 homepage: https://covid19.yale.edu/

This page is the hub for University announcements and information about COVID-19, including information on university planning and response, travel and health information, visitors to campus, and precautions for your safety and well-being.

Monitoring the concentration of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater can track COVID-19 outbreaks within a community. The Yale COVID-19 wastewater surveillance project measures and reports the daily concentration of SARS-CoV-2 RNA at wastewater treatment facilities across the State of Connecticut, covering nearly one million residents in the Stamford, Bridgeport, New Haven, Hartford, New London, and Norwich regions.

This system is designed for currently enrolled students who experience emergency and unexpected financial hardship directly related to their education at Yale. Learn more here.
