Winter HolidaysThe safest way to celebrate winter holidays is to celebrate at home with the people who live with you. Staying home is the best way to protect yourself and others.
Travel and gatherings with family and friends who do not live with you can increase your chances of getting or spreading COVID-19 or the flu.
Everyone can make winter holidays safer. To find out tips on how to do so, see the tips below or visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)'s winter holidays page at www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/daily-life-coping/holidays/winter.html. |

Positive UGA COVID-19 Tests Reported Through DawgCheck - Week 18 (Dec. 14-20)
The University of Georgia DawgCheck tool gives members of the campus community the ability to self-monitor and to facilitate information sharing internally and with the Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH). Any student or employee with a positive COVID-19 test is required to report the test in DawgCheck.
Last Five Weeks of Tests

The table above reflects the total number of positive test results reported through DawgCheck each week. It is updated every Wednesday. Please note the following: - Positive tests reported through DawgCheck are from any of the approximately 50,000 faculty, staff, and students connected to the University of Georgia, whether located in Athens, extended campuses, extension offices across the state, or even other states and countries for students who elected to take online classes.
- The totals may include reports from individuals who have not been on campus recently, there may be delays in reporting, and the totals may even include individuals who have recovered.
- Therefore, the data does not serve as an accurate barometer of the current status of COVID-19 at any point in time at any one of UGA’s campuses.
- For the week of December 14, 30% of the tests in the “Other” category were performed in Athens-Clarke County and its 5 adjoining counties, and the remaining 70% were located elsewhere in the state. Three students reported positive tests done outside of the state. Seven instructional faculty reported a positive test.
DawgCheck and other University of Georgia-related COVID information is available at the University Health Center website at https://uhs.uga.edu/healthtopics/covid-19-health-and-exposure-updates. |
