UNF experienced a record number of COVID-19 cases. From January 1 through January 7, 48 students and 15 employees tested positive. 

33 of the 48 students live on campus, while the other 15 students live off-campus.

Below is a chart that compares the number of UNF’s positive COVID-19 cases, with cases from the beginning of Fall semester in 2020 through last week’s cases. 

As always, to stop the spread of COVID-19, the university strongly encourages students to practice social distancing, follow UNF’s “Four Key Pillars of Shared Responsibility,” and monitor their health daily using the self-screening tool found on the SafeOspreys app or online. 

The University of North Florida’s “Four Key Pillars of Shared Responsibility” are:

• Practicing social distancing at all times 
• Wearing a mask in all indoor and outdoor areas when around others
• Practicing proper personal hygiene 
• Monitoring your health daily
