Important Definitions
Asymptomatic test - Broad testing of the campus population to determine point-in-time data, unrelated to whether someone is symptomatic.
Symptomatic test - A test administered because an individual shows symptoms of COVID-19.
Recovered - The cumulative total of individuals who have tested positive and since were isolated and saw at least 10 days pass since symptoms first appeared. Individuals must also resolve any present fever without use of fever-reducing medications and suffer no respiratory symptoms for at least 72 hours. This definition is based on information provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Wastewater testing - In January 2021, Alma College began the process of collecting wastewater from student apartments and residence halls as a means of testing for COVID-19.
Individuals who have COVID-19 shed cells of the virus into the wastewater. Testing wastewater for COVID-19 is an efficient means of measuring the spread of the virus on campus — which can lead to a more specific, targeted testing campaign — in a private, passive way.
