Together for Maine Daily Briefing and COVID-19 Data Update: 5/6/21  

 

University of Maine System COVID Data by Campus 

 

16 — Known cases of UMS students or employees in public health agency isolation among the more than 30,000 students, faculty, and staff in the University of Maine System community.  

 

The University of Maine System has started the spring semester. These data would also include university students or employees known to have an active case of COVID-19, but not necessarily living in the campus region or state.

  • 1 UMA: 
  • 0 UMF:  
  • 0 UMFK: 
  • 0 UMM:  
  • 1 UMPI: 
  • 6 USM:

The above data reflect ACTIVE known cases identified through the UMS asymptomatic screening and verified self-reports of University students, faculty, and staff from independent testing. When an individual completes the isolation period, the active case number shared in the Together for Maine daily update is reduced to reflect that change.  

 

UMS is reporting 16 known cases today, 2 cases more than reported in the last update. Today’s data reflects 5 new cases and 3 completions of isolation since the last update. Prior updates are archived at Together.Maine.edu.
