Changes to Phoenix Forward Dashboard

Mentioned Thursday in the weekly COVID-19 Digest, UW-Green Bay has been making continual modifications to the Phoenix Forward website and the COVID-19 dashboard. The biggest change is the reporting of tests. Antigen tests are used for asymptomatic residential students (and others who request) as a surveillance measure every two weeks. PCR tests are for symptomatic students who tested at The Wellness Center. In the previous dashboard, antigen tests and PCR tests were lumped together. However, because the campus requires that students with a positive antigen test receive a follow-up PCR test to confirm their diagnosis, the previous dashboard was double counting some students. If you noticed any recent changes in numbers, this was the reason why. Thank you to all members of the four-campus community for working to keep each other safe.
