"Over the last 7 days, there has been an upward trend in our positive cases of COVID-19 among students. Student Health Services has been working diligently to support testing, quarantining and isolation to help minimize the spread."

With the Edinboro campus aiming for a fall 2021 reopening and housing applications now open for next semester, both the prospect of a safe campus and questions regarding COVID-19 vaccinations have come into focus.

Edinboro has logged one new positive case since our last COVID-19 report. Erie County is nearing the 15,000 positive case mark, since the start of the pandemic. 

Edinboro students were invited to join Interim President Dr. Dale-Elizabeth Pehrsson for a virtual “Tea Time” on Feb. 3, from noon to 1 p.m.

Erie County is up to 14,160 confirmed cases of COVID-19 since the start of the pandemic. During the spring 2021 semester, Edinboro has logged 10 total cases of COVID-19.

Edinboro athletics is also resuming some competition in winter sports, including with the Division I wrestling program and Division II men’s and women’s swimming teams.

COVID-19 cases continue to rise around the region, including 944 logged in a 7-day period in Erie County. 

Edinboro University has logged 10 cases of COVID-19 in the last two weeks. This is more than the first 11 weeks of the semester combined. 

In terms of health and safety, Edinboro going online this fall has certainly been a success. But the transition has done a number on students. It is difficult to stay motivated for a class that isn’t in-person.

With 5 cases, Edinboro University is in the middle of their highest COVID-19 case count for a single week.
